Liliana Esquivez, principal of the district’s alternative education program, told trustees the site met the Local Control and Accountability Plan goal on reducing suspensions (a reported 9.5% reduction) and won an award for most‑improved facilities. Esquivez said 11 students graduated from Westside this year and several students returned to traditional campuses. She credited site facilities improvements — including a new basketball court and mini golf area — and added that a full‑time learning director on campus has supported increased student engagement and events like FAFSA workshops.

Everett Marr, campus supervisor at Westside who goes by “Birdie,” described a program titled “What is your tomorrow?” built on four pillars — identity, purpose, character and aura — intended to build students’ confidence and employability skills through short, focused sessions. Marr emphasized accountability and staff modeling as core elements of the work.

Sergio Lara, representing La Familia Central Valley and alternative education as a community partner, outlined a 12‑week program he helped run that focused on rites of passage and developing positive values and “palabra” (credible word) among participants. Student speakers, including Gabriel from Westside, shared positive experiences and staff support that contributed to improved attendance and course completion.","The board heard a presentation recognizing alternative education accomplishments, a campus program focused on identity and purpose, and community partner programs supporting youth development.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6284218,"District launches community‑driven mission and vision renewal process",656,2007000,2663000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2582531-ade7b10a90c6a5ce82648c3afa85a19e&start=2007&end=2663","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2582531-ade7b10a90c6a5ce82648c3afa85a19e/thumbnail_2007000.jpg","/articles/6284218/California/District-launches-communitydriven-mission-and-vision-renewal-process","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6284218-a3f1f8ccc39be9b8506d518774dc073a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164641&Signature=TCtXthrz0dFh94qajLUCMhGrkp-H8~0tt4iTNzZDT6Uk~ZoXNOhzbMiJIikpApR7~56ecoGxSdFCeP6cM79-eFAsphu8XBLJuz2Qf-qZHXQtvQMYPjJdkvcb4etQAtuYjheOwvcsyKcHP4cMCHY5Mq3Ur62tmjvJdow-7yWSyyINv7Tb1QiX4WNe8~g3xady4oX5W8Wy9IboFUQNUu6HW1naje3oZrjAD5tXUqPG5nUpVBBsxLi9YSI7GkiYc5MVh-mnquxA6Dn8bzTe-X6srXmvMKnI-lfw4TZVCwGS66h8DdA527oxmQD1ISnuC0OTS6WYpQfybeEFs-ENfZJkYw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newman‑Crows Landing Unified School District introduced a community‑driven process to renew its mission and vision statements, with staff and county partners outlining teams, timelines and opportunities for stakeholder input.

Superintendent Pruitt and a core district team told the board the current mission and vision were created in 2017–18 and do not reflect current staff, students or community priorities. The district plans to solicit input from students, parents, staff, board members and community partners and to form committees and outreach channels so the statements reflect current values and future goals.

Mike Ruhle of the Stanislaus County Office of Education described his role as an objective project manager supporting the district’s planning and said the process would be deliberate, with phases for data gathering, drafting, feedback and adoption. District leaders said the work will include creating measurable goals, an impact report and annual review processes to keep the statements relevant.

Presenters named a core team of district staff who will coordinate the work and said they expect to spend the remainder of the year building the plan and conducting the community engagement in the following year. Board members were asked to help encourage participation in the outreach process.","Newman‑Crows Landing Unified presented a community‑driven plan to revise its mission and vision, establish implementation teams and gather input from students, staff, parents and community partners over the coming year.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6284221,"Financial advisors brief trustees on bond issuance, state waiver and near‑term financing timeline",687,1269000,1956000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2582531-ade7b10a90c6a5ce82648c3afa85a19e&start=1269&end=1956","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2582531-ade7b10a90c6a5ce82648c3afa85a19e/thumbnail_1269000.jpg","/articles/6284221/California/Financial-advisors-brief-trustees-on-bond-issuance-state-waiver-and-nearterm-financing-timeline","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6284221-2c65d325f037fb45e4e807b172def31c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164641&Signature=U50i6z9wPPsLQv0lqt27NPxUEDxAH2CGEy8MsJKoB40aMXf5h5so99V9bLDmj0ShPL5bePoXbx8ijF~FDHKj1O7eDhyJbOg~10GVriyoFxd4St~1L~sPYdB9LJYxABesQntEzdef84G3A0t0u0s9wwuAtraJIrpWCXVoS2YjFW9QN1ZqvR4aDtt~IwpoHjKdbw64jLdpLLU9y1j0RLJRkN6Aed3TXhebjQ3gIikwblm34ZRV6~~C3v0TkWn6r~b~yPGdW5XeiMGtBMQe4OskGGVqjPc84vkCgVIUBz~ZRp8JPWwAF2ZweufqjEVP1Ug5hqFdYFTq9Fs0Iti1GHN8LQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Newman‑Crows Landing Unified School District received a detailed debt‑management briefing from its financial advisor on needs for near‑term bond issuance and a state waiver the district must request before selling certain 2024 voter‑approved bonds.

Dale Scott, the district’s financial advisor, told the board the district has issued a bond anticipation note that comes due this year and that issuing additional long‑term bonds in the next few months will be necessary to repay that note and to fund planned improvements. He said the district has previously sold some bonds and still has unissued voter authority for additional bonds from past measures, and that some of the district’s outstanding bonds could be refinanced while others could not.

Scott outlined a multi‑step timeline: in April the board would be asked to adopt a resolution approving issuance of a second series (Series B) of bonds tied to the 2020 measure, rating and market steps would follow, and the district expected proceeds by roughly May to repay the anticipation note. Separately, Scott said the district must file a waiver request with the state to exceed a statutory debt limit (described in the Education Code as a 2.5% of assessed valuation cap) before it can issue the bonds the voters approved in 2024 (referred to in the presentation as Measures S and T). He characterized the waiver as procedural and said it is typically granted on a multi‑month schedule, with an anticipated decision by September.

Scott provided numerical context, saying the district had issued about $5 million of recent authority last year and that roughly $20.8 million remained available from an earlier measure; he also said the district has over $50–60 million of total voter‑approved but unissued bond authority. Scott said the county and bargaining units would be notified as part of the process and recommended near‑term board action on two formal items: issuance of the next 2020 series and initiation of the waiver application.","District financial advisor outlined remaining bond authority, the need to repay a bond anticipation note, and a state waiver process required before issuing 2024 voter‑approved bonds.
