Meeting times and location

Note: Due to the Brown Act of 1953, we are not allowed to meet via Zoom. My apologies for the decreased inclusivity required by this legislation. We will attempt to convert a few of these dates to forums so that everyone (regardless of their ability to travel) can provide input.

    • Meetings will be on the Mondays that Curriculum Committee does NOT meet unless these are holidays or have other conflicts.
