Public participation in board meetings
The Del Mar Union School District school board maintains the following policy on public testimony during board meetings:[3]
| “ |
Public Participation
Members of the public are encouraged to attend Board meetings and to address the Board concerning any item on the agenda or within the Board's jurisdiction. So as not to inhibit public participation, persons attending Board meetings shall not be requested to sign in, complete a questionnaire, or otherwise provide their name or other information as a condition of attending the meeting.
Because the Board has a responsibility to conduct district business in an orderly and efficient manner, the following procedures shall regulate public presentations to the Board. The Board shall give members of the public an opportunity to address the Board on any item of interest to the public that is within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board, either before or during the Board’s consideration of each agenda item (Education Code 35145.5, Government Code 54954.3). At a time so designated on the agenda at a regular meeting, members of the public may bring before the Board matters that are not listed on the agenda. The Board may refer such a matter to the Superintendent or designee or take it under advisement, but shall not take action at that time. The matter may be placed on the agenda of a subsequent meeting for action or discussion by the Board (Education Code 35145.5, Government Code 54954.3). A person wishing to be heard by the Board shall first be recognized by the President. He/she shall then identify himself/herself and proceed to comment as briefly as the subject permits. Individual speakers shall be allowed up to three minutes to address the Board on each agenda or non-agenda item during “public comments.” A speaker’s allotted time may not be increased by a donation of time from members of the Public in attendance. The Board shall limit the total time for public input on each item to 20 minutes. With Board consent, the President may increase or decrease the time allowed for individual public presentation, depending on the topic and the number of persons wishing to be heard. The president may take a poll of speakers for or against a particular issue and may ask that additional persons speak only if they have something new to add. In order to ensure that non-English speakers receive the same opportunity to directly address the Board, any member of the public who utilizes a translator shall be provided at least twice the allotted time to address the Board, unless simultaneous translation equipment is used to allow the Board to hear the translated public testimony simultaneously. (Government Code 54954.3) The Board President may rule on the appropriateness of a topic. a) If the topic would be more suitably addressed at a later time, the President may indicate the time and place when it should be presented. b) The Board shall not prohibit public criticism of its policies, procedures, programs, services, acts or omissions. (Government Code 54954.3)
When such disruptive conduct occurs, the Superintendent or designee shall contact law enforcement as necessary.[4] |

Academic performance
Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[9]
The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:
| School year | All (%) | Asian/Pacific Islander (%) | Black (%) | Hispanic (%) | Native American (%) | Two or More Races (%) | White (%) |
