REDLANDS, Calif. — The Redlands Unified School District (RUSD) Board of Education will meet Tuesday, July 8, to take a final vote on three controversial policies that would change the process for challenging library books, limit specific curriculum, and control which flags and ceremonies are allowed on campus.
The first vote on these policies took place June 24 during a marathon meeting where more than 75 people spoke, most in opposition.
The board will also take a first vote on a new parent notification policy that would require school staff to inform parents or guardians about a wide range of student-related matters, including changes to a student’s official or unofficial records.
Here’s how the meeting breaks down:
Before the public meeting, the board will hold a closed session to discuss sensitive matters such as labor negotiations, personnel appointments and student discipline.
During the closed session beginning at 4:30 p.m. on July 8 the board will discuss:
During this time, individuals may address the Board on matters on the agenda. Speakers must submit a completed speaker slip to the Clerk or designated staff member prior to the start of public comments on agenda items. The allotted time will be announced during the meeting.
Public hearings are formal opportunities for residents to speak on specific items before the board takes action. The board must open the hearing, allow public comment, then close the hearing before voting.
The Board will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the Redlands Teachers Association’s initial proposal for the 2025–2026 contract negotiation cycle.
The consent calendar groups together routine, non-controversial items for approval in a single vote, unless a board member pulls an item for separate discussion or a public comment is submitted.
On this agenda, these include:
The board will consider three stipulated expulsions for students involved in serious physical injury, assault on a school employee, and possession of a knife. It will also vote on a series of personnel actions and approve student teaching and clinical training agreements with several universities.
The meeting will conclude with public comment on non-agenda items, followed by closing remarks from the superintendent and board members.
4:30 p.m. Meeting open for public comment before closed session
