Votes at a glance

- Rocky Point Charter School facility request (approval): The board approved Rocky Point Charter Schoolâ€™s facility request (item described as necessary follow-up from a prior meeting so the charter can proceed while finishing requirements). Motion and second were made; the transcript recorded \"Aye\" votes and the item carried. (mover/second: not specified; vote tally: not specified; provenance: discussion and approval lines present in transcript.)

- California School Boards Association (CSBA) delegate assembly, Southern Region 2-B (approval): The board approved its recommended delegate for the CSBA Southern Region 2-B delegate assembly. Board members present voted in favor; transcript indicates motion and second passed. (mover/second: not specified; vote tally: not specified.)

- Resolution 24-25-17: authorization for issuance and sale of bonds not to exceed $22,000,000 (discussion and motion on agenda): The superintendent introduced a resolution authorizing issuance and sale of general-obligation bonds by negotiated sale and related documents for up to $22,000,000 aggregate principal. The transcript records discussion of the plan and intent to move forward; a final vote or explicit recorded outcome was not captured in the available transcript excerpt. (resolution number and amount as stated in agenda language; vote tally: not specified in transcript.)

- Gateway Unified development fee report (Resolution 24-25-16) (approval): Business services presented the developer-fee report that identifies fees collected last year and how they were spent; the board considered the resolution that accepts the report. The transcript indicates the item was presented and consistent with prior votes to adjust fees; a final approval was discussed. (vote tally: not specified.)

- Three-year audit services contract (approval): The board approved a three-year contract for audit services (including Proposition 39 and bond-related audits) with a firm the district has used since 2019.

Members said they were surprised by an apparent increase in the districtâ€™s informal approval threshold from a long-standing $50,000 figure; staff explained that the original board policy language dated to 1984 and refers to the state public-contracting code, which is adjusted annually. Staff recommended the board keep the policy tied to the stateâ€™s bid-threshold adjustments and suggested providing an annual informational update when the state posts the new figure.

The board and staff clarified differences between purchases of equipment, materials and services (covered by the purchasing policy and Public Contract Code adjustments), CUPCCAA (California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act) guidelines for public works bidding, and Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) certified-payroll and project-registration requirements. Staff explained that under CUPCCAA the district maintains an approved vendor list; projects below certain CUPCCAA thresholds may be awarded without formal competitive bids, while higher-dollar public works projects follow RFP or formal bid processes and DIR registration rules for prevailing-wage reporting.

During the discussion staff gave examples to illustrate where thresholds apply (for example, a food-service vendor contract at $75,000 might be arranged without board-level action if the current adjusted threshold permits it). Several board members said they preferred an annual informational item when the state publishes the updated threshold (usually released in December and effective January 1) so the board would not be surprised by year-to-year increases.

No formal change to board policy was made during the meeting; the discussion concluded with a staff commitment to provide clearer annual notice to the board about state threshold adjustments and with an offer to return with additional materials if the board wants to change the policy language.

","Board members debated the districtâ€™s purchasing/bid threshold language, how state annual adjustments affect when projects must come to the board, and whether the board should receive an annual informational update when the state adjusts the threshold.",{"_32":88,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":89,"_40":90,"_42":91,"_44":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6330129,"Gateway Unified presents midyear LCAP report showing mixed progress on proficiency, attendance and staffing",1411,349000,1760000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2315078-db45f341861b10c614853a820a773633&start=349&end=1760","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2315078-db45f341861b10c614853a820a773633/thumbnail_349000.jpg","/articles/6330129/California/Gateway-Unified-presents-midyear-LCAP-report-showing-mixed-progress-on-proficiency-attendance-and-staffing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6330129-c8a3bce574a169279548fc257f1864bb/orig.mp4?Expires=1769845362&Signature=VIDyab3esAm2OfnPQdpEvVi49luOEdziOittM3Aa275Ts~KCcRBIBq410J9DV~dLA~epjC~jlsTWfXjFwvmRuCeOlyWZirdkkSWe3kvynru9fgo4AMF4rxfgyQb~J~6T7ojhy3UElmF1oGpoFxAUB~QOWsOUWDsjitRHfgKk1p3iGJ2jqHkkI1NlvHcNvzR963fp7GYARmj~OqC8OTSwPGe1~lMnpfEO6iGWGXJA18b3PTMYPmyPQCNaEy6e~Nn~KJgofnuSrQNDRAaNFFb3KIrma2n1uAKa-O29duLGBigTefhBAYtgNcj1b~3EhQCr6IjXaHCMy-~IVe5wa9WGWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Gateway Unified School District staff presented the districtâ€™s midyear Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) monitoring report at the board meeting, reporting budgeted actions, current expenditures and preliminary student-achievement indicators for 2024â€“25.

The report covered the LCAPâ€™s four broad goals: increase proficiency (ELA, math, science), support college-and-career readiness, create safe and supportive schools, and engage the community while building a qualified workforce. The presentation included NWEA interim growth data, CAST proficiency forecasting and site-level implementation details.

District staff said $2,400,000 was budgeted under the proficiency action and about 52% of that allocation had been expended to date. The college-and-career action carries a $1,100,000 budget with roughly 42% expended, and the district reported a 30.3% A-G completion rate for the class of 2024 districtwide (41% at the comprehensive high school). Staff said a CALPADS reporting issue undercounted CTE completers in prior reporting and that adjustments will show a larger increase next year.

For targeted supports, staff reported budgets and expenditure rates including: $100,000 total budget for Indian education (61% expended across state, federal and LCAP allocations); $411,000 budgeted for teacher collaboration (8% expended so far but expected to be charged at year-end for PLC Mondays); $190,000 for English learner supports (56% expended); and $1,500,000 for students with disabilities supports (40% expended). Attendance-related supports tied to the LCAP have approximately $4,000,000 budgeted, with 57% expended, and include attendance clerks and attendance software.

On assessments and interim metrics, staff showed NWEA fall-to-winter growth with many grade levels exceeding projected growth percentiles in reading and math. The presentation differentiated achievement (proficiency) from growth (percentile gain) and highlighted 7th grade as a site of concern where growth plateaued. Staff emphasized teacher- and site-level analysis, noting district-level charts are an overview and that site teams and individual teachers examine classroom data and individual student progress for targeted intervention.

Facilities and equity multiplier funds were also discussed. The district said it has budgeted â€œabout $3.5 millionâ€ for facilities-related items included within the LCAP reporting (staffing, custodial, deferred maintenance funded from other sources) and reported approximately 54% expended. Staff described the state equity multiplier funds as new, restricted dollars intended for identified sites; the district reported those funds are in an initial planning year and 16% expended so far.

Staff outlined curriculum and instructional investments, including adoption work for an ELA curriculum (described as the 95% reading curriculum for TKâ€“5), piloting Mystery Science, intervention software, and professional development including a ‘‘science of readingâ€™â€™ certification pathway for TKâ€“5 teachers. The report noted site- and teacher-level interventions such as PLCs, RTI/MTSS teams, tier 3 small-group instruction and behavior intervention supports.

Board members asked follow-up questions about calendar alignment for interventions, the math focus and the handling of reporting anomalies in CALPADS. Staff clarified some reporting timing (mix of 2023â€“24 and 2024â€“25 data points) and explained certain low CTE counts were due to reporting configuration; staff said corrections in CALPADS will show higher completer totals next year.

District leaders did not present a formal resolution tied to the midyear LCAP report; the item was presented as information and monitoring. The board thanked staff and asked for continued site-level focus on plateauing grades and on improving chronic absenteeism.

The presentation concluded with a reminder that the district will continue site visits, PLC supports and targeted interventions through the spring.
