Presenters said ELOP serves roughly 100–120 students regularly and that about 62% of participating students meet the current attendance threshold; the district has used carryover funds from prior years to expand summer offerings and no-cost morning Spanish-language enrichment. Staff reported a previous ELOP carryover of roughly $600,000, which the district used for shade structures and facility upgrades in ELOP rooms and to support expanded summer services.

District staff explained that the state budget proposal under consideration would change the threshold that qualifies a district for the higher “tier 1” allocation by lowering the unduplicated-pupil percentage qualification from 75% to 55%. Under that model, districts above the threshold receive a higher per-student allocation (cited in the meeting as $2,750 per student for tier 1 in contrast to amounts received now by lower-tier districts). The presenters said Eureka Union stands to receive a substantially smaller allocation if the proposal is enacted and that carryover funds have already been spent to expand services.

Staff outlined possible options if revenue drops: implement a sliding scale or tuition model for families who do not meet unduplicated-status priorities, restrict free programming to the mandatory 30 days outside the school year, charge tuition for foreign-language morning enrichment for families who do not qualify, or reduce summer programming. Staff said the district is working with STAR (the district’s ELOP provider) to model options and will finalize a plan after the May revise and the June budget.

Trustees approved the ELOP plan as presented and asked staff to continue planning, monitor the state budget process, and return with a revised program budget and options once state allocations are finalized.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","EUSD May 5, 2025 Regular Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Trustees approved the district’s Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) plan but staff warned a pending state budget change that would alter eligibility tiers could reduce Eureka Union’s ELOP revenue, forcing cuts or tuition changes to summer and enrichment services.","taxTitle","Eureka Union, School Districts, California","taxId",61199,"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},6249236,"Board approves three-year technology plan; district highlights AI training, app use and device repair costs",2001,4712000,6713000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3206692-2fed9923987c98a8f80a04e6b0688f61&start=4712&end=6713","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3206692-2fed9923987c98a8f80a04e6b0688f61/thumbnail_4712000.jpg","/articles/6249236/California/Board-approves-three-year-technology-plan-district-highlights-AI-training-app-use-and-device-repair-costs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6249236-7ea99873bc7dec7991e8f1289ff5eb78/orig.mp4?Expires=1770429878&Signature=cJfVNmqOUVFTvfE2O4YJUUzTKtNiXS~AY7tc8v5PALixXm3s6mocL7srZDLC3j8Zt4c3zJfUhe9~r5a-QvQhkv3rBLGTp1gSIm306wmTFgvOujDRkw7d5LCnkmpOKeCCZNYgZCkdAIeAP1fWT9uq9SIQAjnRav5~wVMDCpSfWkq0MWOfHMisOts--J9KYg0RcgkT3qF8yV26PUsDOfXxvZYMuC3oqxMxrjpufUrfBWiokWVGNAAOo27L00MOgvBct7-5pfCp3F1EfzC1pDnPU4LQQlMa0pWmeU~6c03oHdwc4IJIvAqAf4C-vwSDliuM~A9c8~WfJOF28CQ5xefpjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Trustees approved a refreshed three-year technology plan that will guide the Eureka Union School District’s technology, curriculum and professional-development work through 2028.

District technology staff summarized accomplishments and priorities: expanded professional development on artificial intelligence (AI) tools for teachers, pilot and evaluation of AI classroom tools (including Magic School and Brisk), an updated approach to aligning surveys with ISTE standards, and a focus on maximizing digital components of newly adopted curricula. Staff also reported site-level technology coaching and attendance at the Computer-Using Educators (CUE/Q) conference.

Technology leaders presented application and device metrics. Google Enterprise provides district accounts; GoGuardian is used for content filtering and monitoring. The district reported 2,637 Chromebooks deployed; 830 required repair this year (about 22.8% of Chromebooks) and 167 were replaced (about 4.6%). The district has 238 MacBooks (22 repaired; 11 replaced) and 1,043 iPads (25 repaired; five replaced). A technology presenter summarized that annual replacement planning has risen from under $300,000 in earlier cycles to roughly $400,000, reflecting enrollment and product costs.

Site technology coaches described in-classroom teacher support, help-desk metrics and the rollout of iReady and other digital curriculum components. The district also reported moving away from underused subscriptions (ST Math and Quill) and said it is exploring usage and value of applications such as BrainPOP.

Trustees discussed device durability, repair costs (screen replacement roughly $199), insurance practices and student-device habits that contribute to repairs. The board approved the technology plan by voice vote and asked staff to continue monitoring application usage, device replacement schedules and opportunities to expand AI training for teachers and classified staff.

Staff said they will conduct surveys aligned to instructional standards at the end of this school year and use the findings to refine professional development next year.","Trustees voted to approve the district’s updated three-year technology plan through 2028.

Assistant superintendents and principals presented numbers showing the district “just passed the 3,500 mark in students” if school started immediately, and said open enrollment remains active. District staff said Ridgeview could face average class sizes above the district’s contractual goal of 30 and at or above the contract cap of 32 if current projected enrollees all attend Ridgeview next year without reassignment. “If we were to allow all of those students to remain … the average class size is going to be just over 32,” a district presenter said.

To reduce overcrowding, staff described a system of identifying affected interdistrict applicants and offering several options: placement at an alternate district site (primarily Excelsior), priority placement on a wait list for the requested site for the next school year, or other family choices. Staff reported they personally contacted roughly two dozen families identified in an initial impacted cohort and that most families accepted the district’s alternate-site offers. The superintendent and site leaders also sent districtwide communications explaining the situation.

Administrators detailed facility impacts beyond classroom rosters: consolidated special-education provider space, shared library or gym scheduling for STAR and other enrichment programs, and the limited feasibility of adding portable classrooms because of cost and regulatory timelines. Staff said a portable classroom would cost close to $1 million and require Department of State Architect approvals that would delay availability by a year or more.

Board members and staff discussed prioritization criteria used to make displacement decisions: interdistrict applicants filed on time were compared by sibling status and other factors; intra-district transfer requests filed on time were accepted. Trustees asked staff to continue monitoring enrollment over the summer and to provide regular updates; one trustee suggested repeating an enrollment briefing in early 2026 if numbers continue to rise.

A member of the public who identified herself as the mother of a child in the district urged the board for early, transparent notification so families can plan. The superintendent and trustees said staff would continue outreach and provide updates as decisions are refined over the summer.

No formal board motion was required or taken on transfers; staff implemented the initial reassignments and communications and will return to the board with further updates if projections change.","District officials told the board that Eureka Union has passed 3,500 enrolled students and faces capacity strain at several elementary campuses.

District counselors outlined a multi-tiered approach to social-emotional learning and suicide prevention and described how that framework guides classroom lessons, targeted groups and intensive individual support. The counselors also highlighted the district’s use of the Aperture screening tool for TK–6 and Erica’s Lighthouse curriculum for middle-school suicide-prevention lessons.

The counselors said the district organizes supports in three tiers: universal, classroom-level instruction and themes such as Mental Health Awareness Week; targeted group work (attendance supports, grief or social skills groups); and Tier 3 intensive services including Check-In/Check-Out, individual counseling, home visits and coordination with community providers. “If a student is out of school for any amount of time, then we work on having a reentry safety plan for them,” one counselor said during the presentation.

Board members pressed counselors about family communication and data monitoring. Trustee Dahlstrom, who raised concerns about parent notification in safety cases, said: “I would hate to know something and not have it told parents. That to me I just can’t imagine being in that situation.” Counselors described a district process for threat assessment that involves counselors, administrators and external partners where necessary and said they aim to formalize existing practices into a handbook for consistency.

Superintendent and staff said the policy language was updated using model language from the California School Boards Association (CSBA) and to reflect an Assembly bill adopted in 2017 requiring district suicide-prevention plans. The board’s recommended changes add language about consulting community partners, monitoring and reevaluating materials, improving parent education and convening crisis-intervention teams at school sites.

Trustees voted to waive a first reading and adopt the revised policy and administrative regulation. Trustees said the district will report back to the board on implementation and explore strengthened staff development, more explicit parent education and a more formal crisis-intervention team structure at campus levels.

The counseling team also asked for additional board feedback on data reporting and noted that improved monitoring of threat assessments and program outcomes is an area for growth. The board directed staff to continue formalizing procedures and to return with reporting and recommended next steps.

The district will continue to use Erica’s Lighthouse in grades 6–8 and Aperture TK–6 while developing additional staff training and parent resources. The trustees asked staff to include more complete monitoring data in future reviews of the policy.","The Eureka Union School District Board of Trustees voted to adopt revisions to Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 5,141.52 on suicide prevention after a district counseling team reviewed prevention, intervention and postvention practices and proposed next steps for staff training, parent outreach and data monitoring.","actionData","errors"]
