School Board Member Emily Weisberg

Proud of the work we’ve done to make sure all students are safe at school but continue to look for more ways to educate myself and learn how to better protect our BUSD community. This is a great opportunity to learn!

Due to the recent government shutdown and the discontinuation of SNAP benegits beginning November 1st, the Burbank Unified School District Food Services Department would like to remind our families that every enrolled student, PreK-12th grade is eligible to receive one nutritious breakfast and one nutritious lunch at no charge each school day. We’re proud to stand with your families and support our community through this time.
Sincerely,
The BUSD Food Services Department

Don’t miss out on the phenomenal Festival at Disney Elementary, put on by the phenomenal 5-8pm tonight!

Next let’s talk about the money grab behind this disgusting claim. Let’s discuss that the company in which invested $25 million dollars is selling the “alternative” to Tylenol that is shown to have severe side effects like cancer. Autism isn’t a disease and it isn’t a side effect of Tylenol. Neurodiversity isn’t an illness, it’s something to be celebrated and understood.

Hi BUSD Community! Hearing a lot of feedback about tonight's closed session special meeting. Along with closed session happening before every regular Board meeting, these meetings occasionally happen as stand-alone meetings, and are focused on confidential and/or personnel issues. As these session always deal with confidential or personnel issues, they cannot be streamed. The goal here isn't to hide information from the public, but to be legally compliant in regards to these sensitive issues. When a vote is taken, the vote will be read out at the end of the meeting.

I know that a live link was provided in the agenda, which was very confusing and is a mistake we will make sure doesn't happen again.

A huge thank you to everyone who has reached out, I appreciate the investment and being held accountable! Please email me at [email protected] with any questions.
