Board Approves Dropping 10-Day Doctor Note Rule Despite Teacher Pushback
The board approved revised absence policy removing the mandatory doctor note after 10 excused absences, aligning with CSBA guidance over teacher objections about accountability.
Why it matters: Teachers warn the change removes their only meaningful tool against senior truancy and could reduce ADA revenue, while administration argues it provides flexibility and removes barriers for vulnerable families.

Second Interim BudgetGoverning Board49d agoMarch 10, 2026
Board Certifies Positive Budget as Deficit Drops to $14.8M but Prop 98 Threat Looms
The board self-certified a positive budget showing deficit spending cut from $35.8M to $14.8M, but $25M in potential Prop 98 funds remain at risk from state withholding.
Why it matters: The governor's proposed $5.9B Prop 98 withholding would cost SRVUSD roughly $25M in ongoing funding; without it, the district's 4% reserve remains far below its 7% target.
Seven District Schools Earn California Distinguished School Honors
SRVUSD earned seven 2026 California Distinguished School designations, more than all but one district statewide, reinforcing its top-2% national ranking.
Why it matters: The recognition bolsters the district's reputation amid enrollment decline and budget pressures, and supports arguments for sustained community investment and a future facility bond.
CSEA President Blasts Board for Silence on Classified Layoffs
CSEA President Castelluccio publicly criticized the board for expressing concern about certificated layoffs while remaining silent on classified employee cuts.
Why it matters: The public rebuke signals deteriorating classified employee morale and pressures the board to demonstrate equitable concern across all 120+ classified job classifications in future budget decisions.
Teacher Warns Optional Six-Period Day Undermines Academics and School Belonging
A 14-year Windermere Ranch teacher argued that the optional six-period day reduces intervention time, eliminates elective exploration, and weakens school community ties.
Why it matters: If the policy correlates with declining test scores and attendance as suggested, revisiting it could help reverse negative academic trends the district is trying to address.

Iron Horse Teacher Backs Facility Bond, Cites Chronic Water Intrusion in Classrooms
A science teacher described classrooms flooding during rainstorms at Iron Horse Middle School, countering claims that a proposed facility bond would fund vanity projects.
Why it matters: The testimony provides ground-level evidence for the board's planned facility bond, as aging HVAC systems and roofs require long-term capital investment beyond annual maintenance capacity.

Quail Run Parents Demand Assistant Principal for District's Largest Elementary School
Over 20 Quail Run parents rallied to demand the district restore an assistant principal at its largest, highest-need Title 1 elementary school.
Why it matters: Quail Run's 744 students face leadership turnover, bottom-tier per-student spending, and declining ELA scores — a compounding equity gap at the district's most vulnerable campus.

Teachers and Parents Clash Over Non-District Online Courses Eroding Language Programs
Teachers argue personalized learning initiative online courses inflate grades and shrink world language programs, while a parent defends the flexibility for diverse student needs.
Why it matters: The expired PLI policy allows students to take language courses online for credit, undercutting enrollment in district classes and triggering teacher layoffs in world language and arts programs.
