Recent updates from Governing Board
Trustees approved an MOU with AFT 1481 raising district premium contributions by $500,000 annually, covering all plans except the UHC PPO.
Why it matters: Premiums rose double what was budgeted; the district absorbs the gap rather than passing it to employees, with the cost surfacing in December's first interim budget.
Director Peppers reported a year of paving, flooring, renovations and compliance completion, three open vacancies, a new help-desk system, and El Niño preparation.
Why it matters: The lowest-funded high school district in the county is relying on staff coordination, partnerships and student-built projects to maintain campuses while still seeking HVAC and electrical staff.
District CTE director reports record capstone completers, doubled dual-enrollment sections and equity gains, while flagging internship and teacher-credential barriers.
Why it matters: The district is growing career pathways despite declining enrollment, and credential rules and internship placement are the main constraints on further growth.
Staff presented first reads of Board Policy 7131, Bylaws 9260 and 9310, and Policies 6173.1 and 6173.2, mostly reflecting changes in law or CSBA guidance.
Why it matters: Policy 7131 adds duties on coordinating facilities with local agencies and workforce housing, and 6173.2 references the state Purple Star program for military-connected students.
Trustees approved an MOU extending the 1976 Gene Brink Pool agreement at Oceana High School with Pacifica through June 30, 2027 while terms are renegotiated.
Why it matters: The existing agreement expires December 31, 2026; the extension prevents a lapse in shared pool use while the city and district negotiate.
Board approved a side letter implementing California's new pregnancy disability law granting up to 14 weeks paid leave for school employees starting January 2027.
Why it matters: This new state mandate significantly expands paid leave protections for school district employees, with leave duration determined by medical professionals.
Board approves MOU with Daly City enabling YouthPoint Health to double its substance use prevention and launch treatment services district-wide with Prop 64 cannabis tax funding.
Why it matters: After 20 years of shoestring operations, YouthPoint Health can now place prevention staff at all five campuses and launch an innovative DJ-based Sound Lab, funded by cannabis tax revenue through 2031.
Board approved the annual GANN limit resolution required for state submission alongside the unaudited actuals report.
Why it matters: Without this resolution, the district cannot access spending authority above its 1978-79 baseline when tax revenue outpaces enrollment growth.
