Board approves consent agenda, personnel changes, program requests and funding authorization

At its regular meeting the Chino Valley Unified District governing board approved a series of routine and personnel items during the action portion of the agenda.

Items approved by voice vote or motion: - Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda (voice vote recorded as “All in favor? Aye.”). - Fiscal-year 2026 position recommendations: The board approved staffing adjustments and suspensions tied to enrollment and projected budget scenarios; the report listed multiple position suspensions and additions (occupational therapist, game teacher at Del Rio, district psychologist, and converting athletic director from 0.5 to 1.0 FTE among others). Staff indicated the actions were driven by enrollment declines of roughly 100 students and required baseline cuts. - Culinary arts paraprofessional (CTE): The board approved hiring a paraprofessional (18 hours/week) to support the culinary arts program; the role will be funded by CTE funds, not the operating fund. - Cougar Camp (summer program): The board approved the district-run summer Cougar Camp for ages 5–11, including a payment plan option and field trips; the program will operate at Territorial this year to align with the summer feeding site. - Preschool tuition increase: The board approved a $10 increase to tuition for the district’s tuition-based preschool program (raising the monthly fee to $205) to reflect increased costs. - Use of alternative funds for teacher insurance premiums: The board approved a motion to cap what will be paid from the maintenance & operations fund for teacher insurance at current-year levels and to allow the district to use alternate funds (special funds/grants) to cover premium increases so the district can continue to fully fund teacher insurance premiums next year.

Votes and procedure notes: Most approvals were recorded by voice vote with board members responding “Aye.” Several motions were made and seconded; the transcript records voice votes rather than roll-call tallies. Where staff noted thresholds or legal requirements (for example, procurement bonding or sealed-bid rules), items were forwarded to implementation departments for follow-up.

Why it matters: The personnel and program approvals align staffing to enrollment and maintain benefit commitments while preserving CTE program supports and summer offerings for families.

Ending note: Staff will implement the approved staffing and program changes and return with any required budget or execution updates.
