AND EDUCATION COMMITTEE WORK PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
Approve an amendment to the January – June 2023 Neighborhood Services and Education (NSE) Committee Work Plan to add the following item to the June 8, 2023, NSE Committee meeting agenda:
Bill of Rights for the Children and Youth of the City of San José Update.
Purpose: Provide an update on the revised Bill of Rights for the Children and Youth of the City of San José. (Library/Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services/City Manager’s Office)
BACKGROUND
Staff requests to add the Bill of Rights for the Children and Youth of the City of San José Update to the June 8, 2023, NSE Committee meeting agenda.
It is critically important to have NSE adopt the revised Bill of Rights, prior to end of the fiscal year, for the following reasons:
• In the Audit Report of the Bill Rights for Children and Youth, Finding 2 stated: “the Bill of Rights should be used to inform the Children and Youth Services Master Plan.” o City staff are currently in the process of developing the Children and Youth Services Master Plan and will be writing the content of the document over the summer months.
Thus, it will be important to ensure the Master Plan document references the most current Bill of Rights, so that it is in alignment with other key partners and communitystakeholders. • Other major entities have already adopted the revised Bill of Rights; Santa Clara County, Santa Clara County Office of Education, community-based organizations, and school districts.
