Public Comment re: Governing by Consent Calendar:
at 26:26 Dawn Urbanek
"CONSENT CALENDAR All matters listed under the Consent Calendar are considered by the Board to be routine and will be enacted by the Board in one motion in the form listed below. There will be no discussion of these items prior to the time the Board votes on the motion unless members of the Board, staff, or the public request specific items to be discussed and/or removed from the Consent Calendar. The Superintendent and the staff recommend approval of all Consent Calendar items."
The following items should not have been on the Consent Calendar: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 27,
The CUSD Staff and Superintendent have started putting every Agenda Item on the Consent Calendar because it makes District business much less transparent and it protects Trustees who have a conflict of interest from having to recuse themselves on a vote of an Agenda Item buried in the Consent Calendar.

Relying on fundraising and donations to pay for staff salaries and core educational programs creates wealth based inequities in the quality of education that students receive within the district, and is a violation of Assembly Bill 1575.
Every student is entitled to DISTRICT FUNDED Art, Music and Science Programs that align with minimum state mandated Content Standards and Curriculum Frameworks, and is taught by a properly credentialed teacher.
