9/23/2026 - TRUSD Virtual Special Board Meeting and Governance Workshop

The Twin Rivers Unified School District held a virtual special board meeting and governance workshop on September 23, 2026. The meeting included the adoption of a resolution supporting Proposition 3, which focused on protecting funding for public schools in California. The majority of the meeting was dedicated to a detailed governance workshop presented by legal counsel Mark Harris and Diane Marshall Freeman. The workshop covered compliance with the Brown Act, emphasizing transparency, public participation, and the legal consequences of violations, including personal and criminal liabilities for board members. Discussions also addressed the use of social media, virtual meetings, closed session confidentiality, and the importance of maintaining proper board procedures under Robert's Rules of Order. The board considered forming a committee of three members, including the superintendent, to update the governance handbook, with plans to bring the revised document back for full board review. No specific procurement, contract awards, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
