Board approves personnel and budget measures, adopts Autism awareness proclamation
Summary
At its March 11 meeting the Central Union High School District board approved multiple routine and fiscal items including a resolution authorizing reductions in classified positions, approved the district’s second interim budget with a positive certification, approved personnel changes and declared April as World Autism Month.
The Central Union High School District Board of Trustees on March 11 approved a package of routine and fiscal items, including a resolution authorizing the reduction of classified positions and the district’s 2024–25 second interim budget with a positive certification.
The board moved through several consent and action items with little extended debate. Superintendent Dr. Farkas and district staff presented the fiscal outlook (see separate story on the second interim report). Trustees voted to adopt a resolution authorizing reductions in classified positions and approved the personnel report for March 2025. The board also nominated a delegate to the California School Boards Association (Sub Region 18B) and adopted a resolution proclaiming April 2, 2025, as World Autism Awareness Day and April 2025 as World Autism Month.
Why it matters: The votes come as the district reported lower average daily attendance (ADA) projections that reduce state LCFF revenue and put pressure on reserves. The board’s adoption of the second interim with a positive certification signals that, after current adjustments, the district expects to meet its short-term fiscal obligations while continuing to monitor enrollment and expenditures.

What trustees said: Trustees and the superintendent emphasized the mix of challenges and ongoing investments — noting the district’s work on facilities (including the aquatic center project awaiting DSA approvals), grants and community partnerships — while also acknowledging declining ADA and the resulting revenue implications.
What happens next: District staff will continue required follow-up steps tied to the second interim report, pursue DSA approval and bidding for the pool/aquatic project, and implement any personnel changes authorized by the adopted resolution. The board also indicated intent to continue monitoring enrollment and revenue projections at future meetings.
Ending note: Several of the votes were approved with limited discussion on the board floor; where the transcript records roll-call procedures for specific resolutions the meeting record states the items passed but does not include a full itemized public roll-call tally within the transcript excerpt.
