Staff and students provided a presentation on the implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and the PBIS Rewards program at Arnold and the positive impact it has had at the school.

Tandy Taylor, Executive Director, Educational Services, and Ellen Thomas, Coordinator, Special Education, presented information regarding the Multi-Tiered System of Supports provided to Cypress School District students.

Every year, in honor of Day of the Teacher and Classified School Employee Week, the Board of Trustees donates a book to each school library. This year’s book is When You Trap a Tiger, a 2021 Newbery Medal-winning book written by Tae Keller. This uplifting story brings Korean folklore to life as a girl goes on a quest to unlock the power of stories and save her grandmother.

The Board adopted a resolution directing staff to adopt and implement staffing flexibility measures provided by Governor Newsom's Executive Order N-3-22.

As part of the district’s ongoing position classification review process, job descriptions are reviewed and salaries are compared with similar positions in neighboring elementary school districts. The Board approved revision of the job description for Licensed Vocational Nurse to reflect current job responsibilities with no change in salary placement.

The following updated Board Policies, Administrative Regulations, and Board Bylaws were adopted by the Board. All Cypress School District Board Policies, Administrative Regulations, and Board Bylaws are available online.
