Luna said the district spent approximately $10.3 million in federal funds in 2023–24 and that the audit tested two major federal programs: the child nutrition cluster (about $1.9 million) and the special-education cluster (approximately $7.6 million). He explained auditors test internal controls, accounts payable, payroll and capital assets and review transactions near the fiscal-year cutoff.

The presentation included two findings. First, auditors found a deficiency related to bid procedures: when the audit team sampled four projects, some required bidding documentation either could not be located in the files provided to auditors or was incomplete for review. Luna and district staff said corrective actions would include periodic reviews of bid documentation, records-retention training and consideration of a centralized system to collect solicitation and bid records.

Second, auditors tested CALPADS (the state student data system) for unduplicated-pupil status and found two of 25 sampled students were listed as free or reduced in CALPADS despite paid status in supporting documentation. The district agreed to strengthen CALPADS training and internal review before submission.

Chief Business Officer Ricardo Maroy and other staff said the district would implement a corrective-action plan and consider software to centralize bid documentation. The board then voted to approve the 2023–24 annual audit report (motion by John Alvarez, second by Merced Zamora); the motion carried unanimously (5–0).","Christy White & Associates reported an unmodified opinion on Farmersville Unified’s 2023–24 financial statements and federal programs; auditors identified a deficiency in retention of bid documentation and two CALPADS unduplicated-pupil coding errors and recommended corrective action plans.

Maldonado told the board the league has operated for about 17 years (except during COVID) and sometimes brings its own portable toilets and trash cans. “We need better soccer fields,” Maldonado said, describing regional participation and a plan for an annual October fundraiser to support families in need.

Board member John Alvarez moved to waive all facility fees for the request; the motion included a stipulation that the waiver would be reassessed if a district-determined emergency arose that required custodial or district response. The motion was seconded by Merced Zamora and carried unanimously (5–0). Board materials showed two kinds of entries on the facility-use application: a ratification for dates already used and approval for additional dates. District staff clarified the custodial fee would apply only if district custodial services were required.

Board members and staff asked clarifying questions about whether Maldonado’s group used district custodians (they did not), how opening and closing of gates were handled (the league opens and closes), and which specific line items the waiver would cover. The board directed staff to formalize the ratification and record the approved future dates.","The Farmersville Unified board voted to waive facility fees for Farmersville Youth Soccer’s use of Snowden School practice fields, approving a waiver contingent on district-determined emergency custodial needs; the waiver covered facility fees already incurred and future approved dates.",{"_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},6079631,"Farmersville principals report rising CTE gains, WASC review and expanded adult-education offerings",1386,259000,1645000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2955312-e6ae49c6bff48cc0a942397ab0ea978a&start=259&end=1645","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2955312-e6ae49c6bff48cc0a942397ab0ea978a/thumbnail_259000.jpg","/articles/6079631/California/Farmersville-principals-report-rising-CTE-gains-WASC-review-and-expanded-adult-education-offerings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6079631-37122f290b3a9ba14b1528a05bc19644/orig.mp4?Expires=1771605085&Signature=W6pDufmqnwJPQ9vpAz3QT-2JvKFBgDcXfpEBGDzGp4uEU9OTFZnSeebu7M7dvfUFuu-JRzwvDSxk~xNTLXmNZC6f7GsdMlSX4nv3PTuP2PVoyZNPG~8eQICSmNK2Nrsk3bg5DoYOjz7NzRPJIla8T28nVX5aEfJ0mHbxvBLVzkHLllyj-VhGyXW5BY7inl5HOeyvvhPnPmz-S6UQapT7oPIkjPndYJTQw1h545ml6-AayjMsz0rmNU~NJLvqF3lIDmJdSstASVlEJYOVe4uG8H0MnXGmAkeE3H-CBBSMMj7TYnmhKbKiZn8omH6eJOMBqo3S0A-dGPN1C4rQ1jDV-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Emmanuel Lopez, Associated Student Body president at Farmersville High School, told the board about spring events and upcoming student activities, including sports, an FFA awards banquet and the senior assembly.

The board then heard a combined update from Arturo Villareal, principal of Farmersville Adult School and Deep Creek Academy (DCA), and Jesus Gonzales, principal of Farmersville High School. Villareal said DCA shifted away from fully-online instruction and now provides “direct instruction” in math and English during the first two class periods, followed by in-person remediation. “The infusion of direct instruction has increased student proficiency across the board,” Villareal said, and he reported a roughly 90% attendance rate at DCA with a district goal of 95%.

Villareal outlined adult-school programming that runs Tuesday through Thursday evenings, including high school diploma classes, ESL and CTE offerings. He said the adult school enrolled about 60 people with “maybe 40 something attending” and estimated 11 potential adult-school graduates this year. Villareal described a forklift-certification partnership with West Hills Community College (a 16-hour weekend course) and a CPR/first-aid contract with the American Red Cross, and said the district typically funds the forklift sessions from state carryover money.

Gonzales described academic progress at Farmersville High and previewed the WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) accreditation site visit. He told the board that recent data showed gains in ELA and math and increased CTE pathway completers, and said WASC’s preliminary feedback during the previsit was positive. “The recommendation is gonna be a very strong recommendation,” Gonzales said, adding that official results were expected in the coming weeks.

Both principals described partnerships and community outreach: Villareal noted consortium ties with College of the Sequoias and West Hills, and Gonzales highlighted school-site council work to increase parent involvement. Board members thanked principals for attendance at recent open-house events and for school-site improvements.

Looking ahead, principals discussed continued emphasis on teacher coaching, data-driven instruction, outreach to improve parent involvement in decision-making, and a “big, hairy, audacious goal” to pursue California Distinguished School recognition for the high school.","Principals and the student board president updated the Farmersville Unified School District board on Deep Creek Academy’s shift to direct instruction, adult school growth and Farmersville High’s WASC previsit and CTE gains; district officials reported higher graduation projections and new certification programs for adult learners.","actionData","errors"]
