~ Hear a recommendation by Superintendent Paula Hart Rodas regarding which middle school to close, Clifton or Santa Fe. The agenda item (here) gives no hint which school that may be.

~ Consider raising board member compensation from $300 to $1,200 per month beginning Jan. 1, as the pay level has not changed for more than 40 years and Assembly Bill 1390 now permits higher board pay because of inflation and expanded duties. Details.
