What this document actually says
This bylaw, last revised October 14, 2025, establishes rules for Board members about handling confidential information. Board members cannot share private information learned during closed sessions, from district attorneys, or information the Board designates as confidential. Violations can result in legal action, censure, or referral to a grand jury. However, Board members may report suspected illegal activities to law enforcement or a grand jury without penalty. Confidential information includes closed session discussions, legal communications, and non-public records. Using confidential information for personal financial gain is a misdemeanor. The policy protects information about personnel matters, litigation, negotiations, and student records while allowing whistleblowing on illegal Board actions.
What this means for your family
This bylaw doesn't directly affect day-to-day education but ensures Board members protect private information about students, employees, and sensitive district matters. It means families can trust that confidential student records, personnel discussions, and sensitive district business remain private. Board members who violate confidentiality face consequences, promoting ethical governance and accountability in how the district operates.
