On March 17, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Executive Order allows state bodies covered by the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Act) to hold public meetings covered by the Act via web and/or audio teleconferencing. As such, the Instructional Materials Adoptions Deliberations will be held as an audio/video teleconference. The Board Room 1101 in the California Department of Education (CDE) will be closed to the public.
