The items below summarize motions taken by the trustees; separate articles in this package provide fuller coverage of major agenda items.

Votes at a glance
- Student expulsion (Case No. 22025): Board approved findings of fact and adopted an expulsion order through the end of the 2024‑25 school year (effective date noted as 06/06/2025). Motion and second were recorded on the floor; the board vote was recorded in the meeting as unanimous.
- Consent items (4.1–4.11): Board adopted consent agenda items as presented.
- CIF trip preapproval: Board authorized district administration to preapprove CIF‑governed postseason field trips during the spring CIF season to allow timely travel and hotel bookings; administration will retain authority to sign and will provide trip memos to principals and families.
- California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and related field trips trial policy: Board approved a trial process for preapproving CIF postseason trips with administrative oversight; staff will bring a potential annual preapproval item in August after the trial year.
- Sonoma County Virtual Academy courses: Board approved additional Edgenuity elective courses to expand county virtual academy offerings for Sonoma County students.
- Recruitment/termination/resolution items for certificated staff: The board approved resolutions and related notifications required by Education Code for release of temporary certificated employees and for possible non‑reelection/notification of probationary certificated employees for the next school year; motions were passed and roll calls recorded.
- Classified layoffs (Resolution re: reduction in force): The board approved a resolution to finalize classified layoffs totaling 7.565 FTE; administration reported offers were made and all but one affected employee had accepted other positions offered by the district.
- Maddie Washburn Preschool construction: The board approved the base bid and moved forward with the Maddie Washburn preschool construction package; administration said the project fits within the preset project budget but noted the margin will be tight.
- Transportation plan: The board approved a district transportation plan required to obtain a state reimbursement; the district expects approximately $525,000 ongoing in reimbursement starting next year.

Board minutes show most votes were approved unanimously. Several items (notably positions tied to the All Means All initiative and instructional aide reclassifications) require additional administrative steps—posting positions, negotiating contract language with unions, and returning with implementation timelines.

Ending: The district will file required interim budget reports and required personnel notifications with county and state offices; staff will return with follow‑up items, including budget sensitivity modeling and program rollout details.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","WUSD School Board & Windsor Town Council 03-13-25","oneSentenceSummary","At its March meeting the Windsor Unified board approved a set of routine and substantive items including an expulsion order, staff reductions and notices, course additions for the county virtual academy, CIF trip preapproval, preschool construction bid acceptance, and multiple resolutions on certificated and classified staffing.","taxTitle","Windsor Unified, School Districts, California","taxId",55579,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277525,"Windsor Unified’s second interim shows improved outlook after new state allocations; district projects balanced out‑years",969,11377000,12346000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2653679-e26807f7f8ae353b9532772a0f8e6f52&start=11377&end=12346","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2653679-e26807f7f8ae353b9532772a0f8e6f52/thumbnail_11377000.jpg","/articles/6277525/California/Windsor-Unifieds-second-interim-shows-improved-outlook-after-new-state-allocations-district-projects-balanced-outyears","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277525-3007b473a76b4c464b17ecaa8436257b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771089895&Signature=bSFkG8g1gQ9B2aEGYxeKXaSasY2cz5U2K8oWZ2-oAGrSDGZxSeAQ~CbFUr3q26BK6bHYIb7IWPvcQu8aA7AcSOQ1rBYjSokmZXkMha6NRYbyncx4tvzB~j7ydeulfBH2S4KQfNt0o9C287WMUKaxzNxeE6FE-LnFVEFMNlXeNAqSkN2bSPaKNMdQNb~nh2cWFs8gT21g~egLQWOVU-L7yp9ib24ok8So0MijbasiNeYBlWuffR2IWOHvOHSadBnQRkoWO97u~kZnrkLuhjXoWYhy7Tlve3YHD9nJlgEXJM1j1gawklFfcOwn77x4n9pQxAkHr-9PGH0sLSUIPDjVOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Windsor — Windsor Unified presented its second interim budget update Wednesday and reported a materially improved multi‑year outlook after updated state proposals and changes to county special‑education funding.

District staff briefed trustees on three state‑level changes that were built into the forecast: a governor’s proposed TK add‑on (higher per‑TK pupil funding tied to staffing requirements), a revised cost‑of‑living adjustment and proposed adjustments to the Expanded Learning Opportunities formula. Administrators also reported that a recent county SELPA funding reallocation improved Windsor Unified’s special‑education revenue projections.

Taken together, district staff said the changes produced about $1.1 million in new ongoing unrestricted revenue for the budget model used in the interim report. The district also expects a new recurring transportation reimbursement (state reimbursement for local transportation costs) estimated at roughly $525,000 ongoing; the board separately approved the district transportation plan at the same meeting.

Enrollment assumptions were discussed in detail. Staff explained that Windsor’s overall enrollment trend is influenced by a smaller twelfth‑grade cohort and demographic shifts, and that the district had built conservative enrollment adjustments for the next year while incorporating expected new TK seats and local transfer patterns. Administrators noted the district’s unduplicated pupil percentage (low‑income, foster youth, and English learners) was at about 51.3%; a governor’s proposal to set a 55% threshold for a higher EL/low‑income funding tier could materially increase district restricted revenues if Windsor reaches the threshold.

The board voted to accept the second interim report and the related resolution; staff said the report will be filed with county and state offices as required. District leadership said they will return with detailed budget assumptions and a budget adoption timeline later in the spring.

Ending: Trustees asked for continued updates on state budget developments and for district staff to model the sensitivity of the forecast to enrollment and state rate changes.","At its March meeting the Windsor Unified board received the second interim financial report.

Athletics staff and a student organizer described growing interest among students and cited the sport’s rapid expansion across the North Coast Section (NCS). The board authorized the district to establish the team, with district staff noting initial start‑up costs should be modest and mostly limited to coaching stipends. Fundraising and community donors were identified as likely sources for equipment and extra costs.

Jamie Williams, who presented the proposal, said CIF and neighboring schools already field varsity and JV girls flag teams in the North Bay League; Windsor would become the fourth league program and could play a league schedule. The board discussed logistics — season timing (fall), potential scheduling with boys contact football for field use, and roster sizes (7‑on‑7 play) — and favored flexibility for moving players between development and varsity levels so students can gain playing time.

Mallory Klein, a Windsor High freshman who helped organize student interest and the initial surveys, told trustees she had played flag in middle school and helped survey peers to show demand.

Before the vote district staff said the coaching stipend placement and final language must be accommodated in the collective‑bargaining contract; district staff said the authorization is contingent on negotiating stipend placement and adhering to contract terms. The motion passed with a unanimous vote of the board and the student trustees.

Ending: Administrators said athletics and site staff will refine the schedule, post coaching stipends pending contract language, and return to the board with program details as they are finalized.","The Windsor Unified School District board voted unanimously to create a girls flag football team for the coming school year; administrators said start‑up costs would be limited to coaching stipends and fundraising would cover equipment and other needs.",{"_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},6277532,"Windsor Unified launches “All Means All” instructional model, approves new coaching and support positions",1681,6219000,7900000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2653679-e26807f7f8ae353b9532772a0f8e6f52&start=6219&end=7900","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2653679-e26807f7f8ae353b9532772a0f8e6f52/thumbnail_6219000.jpg","/articles/6277532/California/Windsor-Unified-launches-All-Means-All-instructional-model-approves-new-coaching-and-support-positions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277532-f36e5356e2fdb091a3be097e53ef473f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771089895&Signature=ljFJHMg49cWkhykcYxWXRfzhnqnFT599ovebWB2rLBVGsSMbRG7Rq1b4lCYW4rn-edhnhQmIxwlqKPE3J2Z6QZKpwRkwMR73mftgkzjMzJbaB~zlj39dDA9T~IR8cXDKSwwknB-wG6absv1V7C~QkDurRvAMNNtmVKSjdRE8mMdd91POXeLp5pOzeLm5XvUX07NVyelwXAZtG5hXasOPzj5rIdSFQdniiamQUcozMHwrEiiDZxsBeCEYoQ733Uyj8kcfnXk16eB9vSewRl30TeasAUhxRMeHisMH1Ry6QUtrObeuBW2D0Ig-ZFsBFqIx5qBOjnMuFonGkBKLJ7kxyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Windsor — The Windsor Unified School District moved forward Wednesday on a districtwide instructional redesign called “All Means All,” approving new job descriptions and staffing changes intended to keep students in core instruction while increasing targeted supports in classrooms.

District leaders presented a package of positions and calendar changes they say are designed to strengthen “best first” instruction, provide more adults in classrooms and reduce learning gaps identified in early-grade literacy data. The board approved job descriptions for learning specialists, a case manager, an instructional coach and expanded instructional aide positions; it also approved raising instructional aide hours to 5.5 per day and reclassifying certain roles to fit the new model.

The district framed the change as a tier‑one-centered Multi‑Tiered System of Support (MTSS) approach: rather than routinely pulling students out of core lessons for intervention, supports will be delivered in the classroom through teacher-led small-group instruction, learning specialists and instructional aides. District materials presented data showing a decline between kindergarten and second grade in reading measures the district tracks, and administrators said the change prioritizes early literacy in its initial rollout.

Administrators described the four core roles being added or redefined:
- Instructional coach: a more experienced certificated educator who will spend significant time in classrooms coaching teachers and aides, supporting grade‑level professional learning teams, and leading continuous data cycles. The board approved a requirement of multiple‑subject teaching credentials and several years of experience for that role.
- Learning specialist: a certificated special‑education‑credentialed teacher who will push into general education classrooms and also provide targeted small‑group instruction; the position is intended to serve students with and without IEPs who need extra support.
- Case manager: a certificated staff member focused on IEP development, assessment timelines and family reporting; the board approved a requirement of several years of experience for this role.
- Instructional aide: expanded to 5.5 hours per day with a higher pay range to attract and retain staff; aides will support small‑group facilitation, behavioral strategies and data collection in classrooms.

Board discussion touched on training and oversight. Administrators said aides will receive an initial two‑day block of professional development and ongoing in‑year training (a minimum set of hours was described) and that instructional coaches will lead that professional development. Staff and the district’s classified union (CSEA) worked on language for the new positions; CSEA reported a near‑unanimous membership vote in support of the new aide position prior to the board action.

The board approved the set of job descriptions and the higher hourly classification for instructional aides in separate votes. Trustees emphasized the need for strong, early professional development and for close monitoring of whether the model improves the district’s early‑grade reading outcomes.

Administrators said the new model will not change placement or services for students in self‑contained special education classrooms; IEP‑mandated services will continue to be provided. They also said a case manager position is intended to reduce paperwork burden on special‑education teachers so those teachers can focus on instruction.

Next steps include posting the new positions, negotiating implementing language with employee associations where required, and scheduling site‑level meetings with teachers and parents prior to school‑year implementation.

Ending: District leaders said they expect the initiative to begin next school year and emphasized it will be monitored with grade‑level data and regular reports to the board.","The Windsor Unified School District board approved job descriptions and staffing changes to implement an “All Means All” model aimed at keeping students in core classrooms while increasing in-class supports, including instructional coaches, learning specialists, case managers and expanded instructional aide hours.","actionData","errors"]
