On January 26, 2021, DWK attorneys, including current and former governing board members, presented a Brown Act Survival Training program on how to tackle the most challenging aspects of the Brown Act and changes coming in 2021. The training seminar focused on practical approaches to the real-world issues facing board members and district staff.
Designed as a supplement to and “a step beyond” basic Brown Act trainings, the seminar covered:
- Conducting compliant and productive virtual meetings.
- Best practices for managing public comment.
- Limitations on the board’s use of social media and other new laws for 2021.
- Building meeting agendas and agenda items that avoid Brown Act complaints.
- Proper closed session items, procedures, and reporting out.
This Brown Act training was designed specifically for Board members; Superintendents or Chancellors; Assistant Superintendents, Vice Chancellors, and cabinet members; Directors and other senior staff who interact with the board; Executive assistants and others who help build the board agenda.
