Will Not Implement While the strength and vision of the recommendation is laudable, it is unenforceable. Currently Board Development is incorporated within the Board Bylaws of the KCUSD policies and procedures. Ultimately, the decision to participate in educational workshops and trainings is made by the individual duly elected board member.

Implemented Presently, presentations, discussions and actions on varying district programs and student achievement are a component of every District Regular Board meeting. Additionally beginning in the 2017-18 year, the Governing Board began monthly study sessions on numerous matters. All stakeholders are urged to attend and participate.

Implemented The District Superintendent and individual board members are available to meet with potential board candidates to discuss the roles and responsibilities of being a member of a school board. There currently is no demand for scheduling a public meeting of the type envisioned by the Grand Jury. In closing, the Governing Board of the King City Union School District appreciates the work and responsibilities of the Monterey County Civil Grand Jury and hopes the information contained within this document provides a greater understanding of school board leadership in King City Union School District. Respectfully Rory L. Livingston Superintendent Secretary to the Governing Board
F7
Disagree; the Grand Jury makes a broad generalization statement with no specifics. KCUSD website presently provides a multitude of information, services, links and access points to the parents, community, and staff. Due to the complexities of the students served by the District, the website will not be simplistic in order for it to be adequate. Sufficiency and "user- friendliness" is a subjective experience.
No recommendations for this finding
F8
Again, a generalized and non-specific statement, with no specificity regarding King City Union School District. The King City Union School has endorsed and supported the concept of Life Long Learning and Continuous Improvement for decades. KCUSD Governing Board: Susan King - President, Mildred Dodd - Clerk, Vina Paramo-Alonzo , Ana Vargas and Lawrence Hinkle. Superintendent: Rory Livingston.
