CUSD Board Meetings

The Carpinteria Unified School Board meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday at the City Hall Council Chamber (Unless otherwise specified) at 5:30 p.m., located at 5775 Carpinteria Avenue. 

PUBLIC COMMENTS: In a Regular Board Meeting, the Public is welcome to comment on any agenda item or non-agenda item that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the Board. Public Comments may be bundled together at the beginning of each alphabetical section of the agenda. The Board President usually limits individual comments to three minutes, but may modify the time limit at his/her discretion in order to assure that the Board takes care of District business. Please note that Agenda Items, with the agreement of the Board, may be addressed in a sequence different than what is specified below. Please remember that the Governing Board meetings are a business meeting of the Board held in public and, although public participation is encouraged, it is not the public’s meeting. Public speakers have a right to their own opinions. The Board requests that members of the public present their comments in a factual, respectful, and civil manner that models how we expect our students to participate in the democratic process. The Board is not responsible for the content of statements made during public comment. In a Special Board Meeting, public comments shall be limited to only those items posted on the agenda (Government Code Section 54954.3).

Accessibility: In compliance with the American Disabilities Act, if you need special assistance to participate in the meeting or need this agenda provided in a disability-related alternative format, please contact Monica Thomas at (805) 684-4511. Notification at least 48 hours prior to the meeting will assist the District in making suitable arrangements.

Official Posting of Board Agendas and Agenda Attachments:  The official copy of the agenda is posted at the main entrance of the Administration Office, 1400 Linden Avenue, Carpinteria, CA 93013.  The agenda is posted 72 hours in advance of a regular board meeting.
