Info

students entering California schools from out-of-state must show proof of varicella immunization. Contact local county health departments for more specific information on requirements relating to the number of vaccine doses and the ages at which vaccines are to be given. In some cases, in addition to the month and year of the immunization, the day is also required. Some counties now require that students entering school at specific grade levels show the results of tuberculosis skin tests. For more information regarding immunization and health checkup requirements, please contact your school district, county office of education, or county health department. You may also view the California Department of Health Services Immunization Branch Web site at http://www.dhs.ca.gov/ps/dcdc/izgroup. 28
Public Access The subjects explained here include some of the most frequently asked questions concerning public access and other California Education Code (EC) sections. Public Records Act—Government Code Section 6250 et seq. Public records include any writing containing information related to the conduct of the public business that is prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency, regardless of the physical form or characteristics of the public business. Public records are open to inspection at all times during the office hours of the state or local agency. Every person has a right to inspect any public record and obtain a copy for a fee unless, pursuant to specific statutory standards, it may be kept confidential. Agency regulations may be adopted stating the procedures to be followed when making records available. Open Meetings (Brown Act)—Government Code Section 54950 et seq. and EC sections 35145 and 35145.5 Generally, public agencies are required by law to conduct their business in an open forum. However, the Legislature recognizes the need for these agencies to meet, on occasion, in private forum. For example, certain matters concerning personal privacy of public employees or litigation strategy are more appropriately discussed in a closed, rather than open, session. Agencies are required to provide agendas at least 72 hours prior to each regular meeting; the agenda must contain a brief description of each item to be considered. Local bodies are required to take steps to ensure public participation in the meetings. Minutes shall be taken and are public records. Boards shall adopt regulations governing the procedures to be followed to (1) ensure that members of the public may place items on the agenda for consideration; and (2) permit the public to address the board regarding items on the agenda as they are deliberated. These regulations shall not preclude the board addressing matters not on the agenda that a member of the public wishes to bring before the board, provided that no action may be taken on such matters at the same meeting at which the testimony is taken. Civic Center Act—EC Section 38130 et seq. Every public school facility is considered a civic center where citizens, schoolcommunity councils, and clubs, as well as senior, recreation, education, political, artistic, and other organizations, may meet. The school district may grant the use of the school facilities and grounds upon certain terms and conditions deemed proper by the governing board, subject to specified limitations, requirements, and restrictions set forth within the law. 29
