The trustees also will consider the adoption of a number of new board bylaws for their first reading.

• Publication of a district-wide newsletter in connection with Proud to be MUSD;

• Displaying board members’ photos at school sites, which will be discussed and voted on in tandem with the above item;

• Reappointing three committee members to serve on the Measure M Citizens’ Oversight committee for a two-year term; and,
