Board backs Prop 3 and approves multiple closed‑session special‑education settlements

In its action items the board unanimously passed a resolution supporting Proposition 3 — a statewide measure to continue the Education Protection Account funding stream tied to the expiring measure — after trustees and staff discussed the likely local revenue impacts. A district fiscal staff member told the board the district’s EPA share for the year is roughly $34,451,000 and characterized a loss of that funding as "devastating." Trustee McKenzie urged voters to return ballots, noting the measure would make previously approved funding permanent.
