The meeting also featured a report from the California School Employees Association (CSEA), where President Neiman recognized classified employees Bonnie Lopez and Zachary Ross for their contributions. Neiman expressed gratitude for the community's involvement and announced an upcoming professional development day focused on safety training for staff.

Superintendent Doctor Morales provided updates on various initiatives, including the development of a comprehensive framework for restorative practices in schools and the creation of a district-wide profile for students at different educational milestones.
