The Governing Board will recognize Rolling Hills Middle School students,Gemma Corona and Malia Brito.

Both students earned grants to attend the prestigious Tech Trek Science and Math Camp being held a Stanford University this summer.

Tech Trek is a science and math camp designed to develop interest, excitement, and self-confidence in young women who will enter eighth grade in the fall. It features hands-on activities in math, science, and related fields.

Seventh grade science and/or math teachers at participating schools recommend camper candidates who must then pass through an extensive qualification process that includes an application, an essay, and a personal interview. Camp curriculum is targeted specifically at girls entering 8th grade.

The Superintendent will update the Board on the District’s Strategic Plan. This is a regularly appearing item.

Updating Campbell Union School District’s Communication Plan was one of the 2015-16 Strategic Plan objectives. The Superintendent approved a working draft of the plan in August 2015, and quarterly updates have occurred to reflect new research and stakeholder feedback. 

District staff will present an overview of the completed Campbell Union School District Communication Plan, which will serve as a guide and resource to administrators as they plan communications with employees and the community.

Costs for communications activities vary and are factored into each department's goals and action plans. Examples of expenses: auto-dial/email service subscription, translation services, printing, online survey subscription, advertising, promotional materials (banners, videos, posters), supplies and materials for recognition events, postage, training, and additional hourly staff support as needed.

The Board will review current subcommittee assignments and determine assignments for the remainder of 2016.

The increased need to support our special needs students necessitates the addition of a special education staff position. This position will also support the human resources department as our hiring needs continue to increase.  Recruitment efforts have provided an opportunity to support our students and staff while meeting our goal of attracting, developing and retaining highly qualified staff.

The district recommends approving the Assistant Superintendent of Support Services position, effective July 1, 2016.
