The Delegate Assembly sets the general policy direction for the association. Working with local districts, county offices, the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, Delegates ensure that the association reflects the interests of school districts and county offices of education throughout the state. The Delegate Assembly is made up of approximately 270+ Delegates who are elected by local board members in 21 geographic regions throughout the state. Some geographic regions have been further divided into subregions. Ex-officio members of the Delegate Assembly with all privileges of membership include members of CSBA’s Board of Directors, past presidents of CSBA, and the immediate past president of the California County Boards of Education. Delegates serve two-year terms beginning April 1. They meet twice a year to conduct business, and may also meet with the other Delegates and the Director within their region. Furthermore, they participate in CSBA events and they maintain contact with local boards in their region. Nominations for CSBA Delegate Assembly are being accepted until January 7, 2024. According to CSBA's Bylaws and Standing Rules, in addition to "appointing" Board Members in this region to serve on CSBA's Delegate Assembly, the Board is entitled to "nominate and elect" a representative to CSBA's Delegate Assembly within their geographical region or sub-region and may nominate as many individuals as it chooses by submitting a nomination form for each nominee. All nominees must serve on CSBA Member Boards and give their approval prior to being nominated. The nominated Delegate must submit a biographical sketch and "optional" resumé no later than January 7, 2024.

Analysis : Hacienda La Puente Adult Education’s Innovative Rehabilitation Services (IRS) trains adults with disabilities for employment. Landscape and gardening is designed to prepare students for basic entry-level position in the landscape maintenance or sprinkler installation industry. Students are instructed in safety procedures, learn to identify various types of plants and trees and are instructed in the proper use of hand and power tools. Basic math skills and job cost estimations are also included. Students are paid an hourly rate based on productivity. The District often enters into contracts with the community member to perform gardening services. Some contracts require the District to perform the services in a quick turnaround timely manner. Approving to delegate authority to the Superintendent to execute the IRS contract will expedite contract approval before the services are rendered to meet the requirement under Education Code, Section 35035.

For many years, the District's LCAP has served as the District's Strategic Plan. However, there are District action plans, which may not necessarily fit into an LCAP. The goal of partnering with Hanover Research is to develop the District's Strategic Plan by utilizing a mixed-methods approach of projects, such as a Strategic Priorities Diagnostic Survey, Strategic Planning Data Dashboard, Community Focus Groups, and Community Engagement Surveys. Through the Strategic Planning process with Hanover Research, workshop sequences will include the review of the organizational foundations in order to review/revise the district's vision, mission, and core value statements. Engagement in goal setting using data, outlining actions, and monitoring progress indicators for the strategic plan will be key components. The goal of this work is to produce a 5-year strategic plan for the District to focus on key goals, initiatives, and action steps in order to prepare our students for college and/or career as productive citizens of the community.
