• A review of information and data related to CCSD’s financial operations
• A four-day on-site visit to interview district and department staff, and review additional information as needed
• A report of a roadmap to improve efficiencies and enhance the effectiveness and strategic value of the district’s finance operations.

Review the proposal.

Trustees Discussed the Scope of Board Counsel

Trustees discussed the scope of the Board of Trustees’ internal counsel, following a communication by the Office of the District Attorney stating that because the Board of Trustees “has employed private counsel through the School District’s Office of General Counsel, the District Attorney’s Office has been relieved of its statutory obligation to provide legal service to the Board of Trustees.” The District Attorney’s office has granted the Trustees an extension to remain with Board Counsel through October 31, 2024.

Discussion included:

• The District Attorney will work with the Office of General Counsel to transition representation of the School Board of Trustees to be completed by Oct. 10^th, 2024
