Posting agenda packets and minutes isn't required by law, but doing so promotes transparency and trust with the public, experts say

Dozens of charter schools and a couple of school districts in San Diego County do not post all the information about the decisions their school boards make, an analysis by The San Diego Union-Tribune found. That's largely because state law only requires that public agencies post board meeting agendas online, which can include as little as 20 or fewer words about each agenda item.

In 2020, a new law applied the Brown Act to charter schools, which are public schools run independently of school districts, and to charter management organizations. The vast majority of San Diego County’s 42 school districts and the county office of education post agenda packets and meeting minutes, even though it’s not required.
