Lodi Unified repurposes staff to form college‑and‑career team, board approves plan
Summary
Board approved creating a college‑and‑career team by repurposing an existing administrator (Julie Janssen) and support staff; staff said the change yields an approximate $175,000 net reduction to LCFF/LCAP general fund and will consolidate grant monitoring functions.
The Lodi Unified School District board voted to approve a proposal to form a college‑and‑career team by repurposing existing staff rather than adding new administrators.
Staff presentation named Julie Janssen (currently principal at Lincoln Technical Academy) as the proposed area director overseeing college‑and‑career activities districtwide, supported by two categorical program assistants and one principal secretary redeployed from Lincoln Technical Academy. The district said the repurposing does not add administrators and described a net reduction to the LCFF/LCAP general fund of about $175,000 as categorical funds are spent first, freeing general‑fund resources.
Superintendent/staff sought board approval to proceed with implementation of the team and answered questions about staffing and funding mechanics. A board member moved to approve the proposal and the motion passed 5‑0 with two absent.
Staff said the team will monitor grants, support school sites on categorical funding and coordinate college‑and‑career activities across sites. Implementation will be managed by district administration and human resources.
