Pasadena Board of Education Remote Meetings Extended Through June 10

The Pasadena Unified School District board on Thursday unanimously approved a resolution that allows the board to continue holding meetings virtually through June 10.

PUSD has been meeting remotely since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020, pursuant to the Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order which suspended certain teleconference requirements of the Brown Act.

The approval of the resolution came days after the City Council approved a resolution extending remote meetings until June 8.

The City Council must pass a resolution every 30-days to continue meeting online under the terms of Assembly Bill 361. Beyond that initial 30-day period, it must confirm the circumstances of the state of emergency and make required findings at least 30 days after adoption of the resolution and every 30 days thereafter.

In the same meeting, the PUSD Board also approved a resolution ordering the election of PUSD board members

Four of the seven seats on the PUSD Board were up for election on November 8.

“The election shall be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. The polling hours shall be from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on multiple days at the Voting Centers leading up to Election Day,” the resolution read.

“The purpose of the election is to submit to the voters of the district the question of whether four members shall be elected to the Governing Board of the Pasadena Unified School District.”
