Light Agenda, but the Work Goes On

The Wednesday, April 1, 2026, Santa Clara County Board of Education (SCCBOE) meeting will start at 5:00pm. Contemporaneous public comments may only be made in person in the San Jose Room of the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE). Community members can follow SCCBOE meetings at home by clic

If you cannot attend in person, and have a comment that you would like the SCCBOE to consider in its decision making, please email all of us prior to the board meeting at SCCBOEMembers@sccoe.org. The entire agenda and supporting documentation for this coming week's meeting can be found here.

First up on the agenda, the SCCBOE will recognize SCCOE's Employee of the Month, Angelica Guzman, a Head Start teacher in the Early Learning Services Department. Angelica has been with the SCCOE for 23 years. She was a former Head Start parent, who saw how the program supported families and their long-term goals which inspired her teaching career. There will also be Recognition of the County Mock Trial Tournament Winners, ACSA Region 8 Awardees from SCCOE, and Homestead High School Future Business Leaders of America.

Next, the Board will hear Public Comments of Persons Desiring to Address the Board (for non-Agendized items), followed by Reports from SCCOE Bargaining Units (which include its teaching and staff unions, among others). For public comments, participants are given 2 minutes at most to address the Board, and the Board is not permitted to engage on the subject matter because it is not agendized.

Then, the Board will consider approving its Consent Action and Information Items. The consent part of an agenda generally includes non-controversial subject matters that can be approved all together if the Board all deems the items non-controversial and chooses not to pull any for discussion. For the SCCBOE, this part of the agenda typically includes minutes from the prior meeting, resolutions recognizing ethnic groups the county serves, specific educational initiatives, outside donations the county has received, disposition of surplus items, Head Start program reports, approval of board policy updates, and employee compensation increases over a certain threshold. This meeting's agenda includes resolutions recognizing Myositis Awareness Month, National Foster Care Month, and National Foster Care Month, along with requests to approve the acceptance of specific donations. You can read more about all of them under agenda items 6 and 7.

The Board will next go into Closed Session to discuss anticipated litigation, a public employee complaint, and conduct 3 Interdistrict Transfer Hearings.

Please note, these are just the highlights of what is on the agenda for the 4/1/26 meeting. You can inform yourself about the rest of the agenda at the link provided above. As always, feel free to email me with any questions.
