Board approves routine consent items, policy updates and personnel reclassifications
Summary
At its April 17 meeting Windsor Unified’s board approved consent agenda items, CSBA policy updates and several administrative items including a reclassification of select RSP teachers to learning specialists and the annual declaration of need for fully qualified educators.
The Windsor Unified Board of Trustees recorded multiple formal actions on April 17 during its regularly scheduled meeting.
Consent and minutes - The board approved additions to the consent agenda (items 4.14 and 4.15) and then approved the full consent agenda (items 4.1–4.15). The motion to add the late CIF application and a late field trip request was moved and seconded, and the board voted verbally in favor during the meeting. No roll‑call vote tally was recorded in the minutes for that motion. - The board approved the minutes from the March 13, 2025 meeting by voice vote.
Resolutions, policy updates and required annual filings - Williams report: the board approved the Williams resolution (annual compliance report) by roll call. Recorded votes were: Stephanie Ahmad — yes; Paul Gugorno — yes; Rich Carnation — yes; Malinale Lopez — yes; Zoe Fermankiewicz — yes. - CSBA policy updates 2022: the board approved the recommended CSBA board policy updates presented as part of item 5.3 and directed that members who had detailed concerns forward them for subcommittee review. (The meeting record shows a motion, a second and an affirmative vote; no member votes were recorded individually except where a roll call was performed.) - Uniform complaint procedure: the board approved an updated Uniform Complaint Procedure and the updated version was posted on the district website; staff noted the district will later submit material through the California Department of Education compliance management tool (CMT). - Declaration of Need: the board approved the annual Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators for 2025–26 to allow use of emergency permits and waivers where necessary.
Personnel and job classification - Reclassification of RSP teachers: the board approved reclassifying select Resource Specialist Program (RSP) teachers to the new classification of learning specialists to align duty descriptions with the district’s “all means all” model. The reclassification separates case‑management tasks from broader intervention duties; the board approved the reclassification by motion and voice vote.
Procedure and next steps - Several items were approved by voice vote without roll‑call tallies recorded in the transcript. Board members asked staff to circulate specific policy language they wished to revisit; the board’s policy subcommittee will review proposed editorial or substantive changes and bring recommendations back to the board.
