Policies & Procedures

The Castro Valley Unified School District Governance Team comprised of the five elected board members and the Superintendent has, for several years, developed and adopted goals and expectations for themselves as a governance team. Annually, the board reviews the goals and expectations as a means of self-reflection on their role as a governance team and as individual members of the team. On October 13, 2005 the board conducted its annual review and adopted its most recent set of goals.
