World Languages Adoption Meeting Logistics

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 April 26–30, 2021, reviewer training meeting will be held as an audio/video teleconference and will have a live webcast. Following are options to access the meeting.

You may access the meeting by clicking the link below to access the live World Languages Adoption reviewer training meeting webcast:

If you do not have access to the internet, dial into the World Languages Adoption Meeting using the conference dial-in number below. If you desire to give public comment, do so using the same dial-in number during the specified time.

  • Conference Dial-in Number: (712) 770-4933
  • Participant Access Code: 5906620

Prior to making public comment, speakers who are watching the meeting via live webcast should make sure the volume on their computer is muted to avoid any echoing or feedback sounds during the call.

  • Members of the public who would like to make comment may do so by calling the telephone number listed above.
  • Members of the public may only sign up or request to speak themselves and may not sign up or be signed up by other speakers.

  • Speakers may not provide comment on behalf of another individual or group who is not present.
  • Speakers may not allocate their allotted time to another speaker.
  • Speakers shall refrain from using profanity and shall conduct themselves in a respectful manner.

Order of Business

The order of business may be changed without notice. All times are approximate; the timing and order of activities may change. The World Languages Adoption reviewer training will commence, recess, and reconvene as necessary throughout the week. The outline of activities is provided for convenience only.
