The Committee should meet monthly during the Implementation Phase to review Police Department policies, procedures, and other aspects of implementation. The Committee will make recommendations to the Board regarding proposed policies, procedures, and other aspects of implementation.

The Committee will develop its own bylaws subject to Board approval. Stakeholders desiring to have input or address concerns can bring them before the Committee. The Committee can make a recommendation to Administration or the Board regarding such concerns as appropriate.

After the Implementation Phase, the Committee should meet quarterly or more often as necessary. As a standing committee, meetings must be properly noticed with agenda in accordance with the Brown Act.

Members of the community shall submit an application to be considered by the Board of Education for approval. This will ensure transparency, accountability, and fairness in transitioning to an internal police department. Applications must be received by the Superintendent’s office for consideration.

Applications can be emailed to dhernandez@valverde.edu .
