Summary
At its regular meeting the Humboldt Unified School District board approved pay-to-play fees for middle-school flag football, ratified contracts and supplementals, accepted an updated federal-programs director job description, authorized buying a CTE minibus with pass-through funds, adopted a revised 2025–26 budget and approved superintendent performance pay.
The Humboldt Unified School District Governing Board approved several action items at its regular meeting, including athletics fees, contract ratifications, personnel updates, a CTE vehicle purchase and a budget revision.
Board members voted to approve pay-to-play fees for middle-school girls and boys flag football after a presentation by Marissa Monk outlining coach stipends, official fees and transportation costs. Monk said officials would cost approximately $800 for a 10-game season and that coach stipends could be funded by tax-credit donations or site funds. The motion to "approve the pay to play fees for middle school boys and girls flag football as presented" passed on a voice vote.
Trustees next ratified district contracts, work agreements and supplemental assignments as presented and approved an updated job description for the Director of Federal Programs and School Improvement. Superintendent Dahl explained the revised job consolidates data-coordinator duties and includes a salary/benefit adjustment he described as an addition of roughly $14,247 (salary and employer costs), offset by operational savings elsewhere; the board voted to adopt the job description.
The board also approved purchasing a CTE minibus using pass-through funds from Mountain Institute intended to support satellite CTE programs. Presenters said the funds had a use-or-return requirement and that CTE would have first priority for vehicle scheduling. The motion to purchase the minibus was carried.
Finance staff presented a December revision to the 2025–26 budget that reflected additional one-time state aid and clarified carry-forward balances; staff said the capital account figure was adjusted downward by about $500,000 after AFR reconciliation. Trustees voted to accept the revised budget as presented.
After a brief executive session to discuss personnel, the board approved superintendent Dahl’s performance pay of $3,848.04 for the period 06/01/2025–10/31/2025 and adjourned. All action motions reported in the meeting were approved by voice vote; the record shows unanimous "Aye" responses but individual roll-call votes were not taken in the transcript.
