Governance Committee Meeting | May 15, 2026

The West Contra Costa Unified School District Governance Committee met on May 15, 2026, primarily to review and discuss updates to a large batch of board policies spanning various areas including student instruction, enrollment, technology use, and governance procedures. Key procurement-related discussions included policy alignment on fundraising and budget oversight, with a recommendation to consolidate independent oversight of parcel tax funds into the district budget engagement committee rather than creating a separate citizens oversight committee. The committee also addressed procedural updates for interdistrict open enrollment and student displacement policies, emphasizing equitable processes and timely family notifications. Several policies related to technology use, media relations, and student privacy were flagged for further alignment and review. No contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were discussed, but the committee outlined next steps for policy adoption, staff training, and community communication. Public comments focused on support for home and hospital instruction policy amendments and requests for access to meeting documents and recordings.
