The Coronado Unified School District trustees met for a special board meeting on Friday, Sept. 25. The purpose was to conduct a self-evaluation and discuss board policy in three areas: controversial issues, science instruction, and history/social science instruction. Trustees also discussed best practices in when it comes to voting “no” on an action item; board policy recommends that any trustee should share the reasoning behind their “no” vote. Trustee Fitz Lee suggested his own revisions, saying that we live in a moment where public discourse is polarized and trust in public institutions is under strain. The next regularly scheduled board meeting takes place on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 4pm at district offices.
