- Acceptance of fiscal-year 2023–24 audit (item 9.1): The board accepted the auditor’s report and authorized publication of the reports on the district website. Recorded outcome: approved, 4–0.
- Approval of 2025 budget revisions (item 9.2): The board approved budget revisions that the assistant superintendent said were largely one-time expenditures. The revisions included charges to restricted maintenance funds for $97,000 in safety gates, estimated $70,000 for repair of a main waterline and related tree removal work on La Jolla, use of restricted funds and cafeteria funds, and an apportioned administrative fee related to a mixed insurance pool’s deficit. The district reported the one-time items increase projected current-year deficit spending but are not expected to add to long-term structural deficits. Recorded outcome: approved, 4–0.
- Position control updates (item 9.3): The board approved closure of several vacant, unfunded positions to keep the district’s position-control list current; staff said there is no budgetary impact. Recorded outcome: approved, 4–0.
Each of these items was introduced by staff, discussed as needed, and approved on voice vote with four votes in favor and none opposed or abstaining. The board noted the district will publish audit and budget materials on its website and provide the Prop 39 report to the Citizens’ Oversight Committee for review.
