Deputy SuperintendentGoverning Board9d agoSeptember 1, 2026

Board Creates High-Level Assistant Role to Manage Post-Meeting Staffing System Updates

A new confidential assistant position was approved to provide project management and IT system coordination for the Deputy Superintendent of Educational Services.

Why it matters: Growing program complexity means staffing changes after every board meeting require someone to manage system account activations and deactivations across platforms that don't communicate with each other.

Confidential Salary ScheduleGoverning Board9d agoSeptember 1, 2026

Board Adds Salary Range 53 to Bridge 20% Gap in Confidential Pay Scale

The board approved adding a Range 53 (5% increase over Range 50) to the confidential salary schedule to eliminate the 20% jump to Range 62.

Why it matters: Without the intermediate step, confidential positions slightly above entry level were forced into a 20% salary jump, creating compensation distortions for roles with incrementally greater duties.

Beautification CrewGoverning Board9d agoSeptember 1, 2026

Van Drivers Double as Campus Beautification Crew During Midday Shifts

Three van drivers use their midday downtime between AM and PM routes to tackle landscaping and facility improvement projects across district schools.

Why it matters: The innovative use of existing staff for beautification work enhances school environments without requiring additional hires, though maintenance handoff to sustain improvements will be critical.

District Adopts GPS Routing Software and Plans Real-Time Parent Tracking App

Transportation Director Darnell Garcia presented a comprehensive update covering the district's 22-van, 10-bus fleet, five driver vacancies, new Transfinder routing software, and a forthcoming Stop Finder parent app.

Why it matters: Routes grew from 16 to 19 this year as special education transportation demand increased, and five bus drivers are covering van routes — meaning field trip capacity will be constrained once bus season begins.

District Earns CSBA Award Finalist Nod for Student Advisory Program

Board members reported on back-to-school nights across the district's schools, and Superintendent Presta announced the student advisory program is a CSBA award finalist.

Why it matters: A CSBA representative will observe the next student advisory meeting; winning would provide statewide recognition for the district's student engagement model.

Board Nominates Rosie Tejada for CSBA Director at Large, Asian Pacific Islander

Board unanimously nominates Vice President Rosie Tejada for the CSBA Director at Large, Asian Pacific Islander position to shape statewide policy.

Why it matters: Serving as a CSBA director at large would give a local trustee a voice in shaping California School Boards Association policy and organizational direction statewide.

Volunteers Now Mandated Reporters Under New California Law; District Updates Four Policies

Four board policies update volunteer mandated reporter requirements under a new California law and clarify union exclusive representation and strike-period medical benefits.

Why it matters: California for the first time in its history made school volunteers mandated reporters, requiring new training for every volunteer the district brings on.

A new board policy aims to identify and respond to extreme weather events that could endanger students during outdoor physical activities.

Why it matters: With extreme heat events becoming more frequent, this policy would establish formal protocols to protect student health and safety during athletics and PE.
