II. Public Comment on items not on agenda (Senate cannot discuss or take action)

Genevieve Kolar thanked everyone who came to the special Board of Trustees
meeting at Foothill last Monday to speak and support student effort; the Board
voted unanimously to place both a bond measure and parcel tax in the March 3,
2020 ballot. March is coming up quickly, and plans to inform and raise
community support for the measure and tax are starting. Need volunteers for
phone bank and other campaign work; could be as simple as providing food for
volunteers. Campaign Headquarter, across Stevens Creek at the former Coffee
Society location; Tim Shively is the faculty rep for the parcel tax/bond campaign.

policy and the California Education Code explicitly prohibit the use of district
