Board approves audits, grant-resolutions and LCAP midyear report; consent calendar adopted
Summary
At the Jan. 15 Capistrano Unified board meeting trustees voted unanimously on a set of administrative items: receipt of annual financial and CFD audits, two resolutions to seek state bond and hardship funding, approval of the 2025 LCAP midyear monitoring report, and adoption of the consent calendar.
The Capistrano Unified School District Board of Trustees voted on several administrative and fiscal items at its Jan. 15 meeting, taking unanimous roll-call votes where recorded.
The board received the district and community facilities district (CFD) annual financial reports for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Auditor Peter Glenn of Nigro & Nigro presented the audits and reported an unmodified opinion on the financial statements; the board voted to receive the reports by roll call (motion carried 7–0 with a preferential student board member vote recorded).
Trustees adopted two resolutions authorizing the filing of applications for state School Facility Program funds: Resolution 2425-18 to apply for state-administered Proposition 2 construction and modernization matching funds and Resolution 2025-19 to apply for hardship/seismic mitigation funding. Clark Hampton, deputy superintendent for business, said the resolutions acknowledge requirements for a five‑year master plan to be eligible for matching funds; both motions passed by roll call vote 7–0 (preferential student board votes recorded).
The board approved the 2025 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) midyear monitoring report for 2024–25 (motion carried 7–0). The board also approved the consent calendar, which included routine personnel, contracts and purchases items listed in the agenda; the consent calendar passed by roll call vote 7–0.
Why this matters: the audit acceptance and resolutions signal the district’s routine fiscal oversight and its intent to pursue state facility funding. Deputy Superintendent Hampton explained that Proposition 2 (November bond) will require districts to submit master plans to access matching funds and noted two district projects that may seek matching dollars in the future (San Clemente High gym and Capistrano Valley High Stadium were discussed as potential match projects).
