District leaders presented the annual student-accountability (SARC) report, enrollment and attendance trends, and plans to expand the BBA program into an early-college model.

Staff noted reporting timing issues that sometimes label the file year differently from the underlying data and explained why CAST results are reported for 11th graders only. The SARC summary emphasized improved graduation rates, reduced suspensions compared with the prior year, and rising completion of UC/CSU admission requirements.

Administrators highlighted college-application activity and financial-aid filings: a significant share of students apply to University of California campuses and Cal State campuses, and staff reported strong FAFSA completions in prior cycles (noting a previous 90% completion rate). Counselors Wendy Munoz and Erica Lopez provided college-application and financial-aid data to staff.

The board also discussed a proposed multi-year framework for the BBA program that would scale enrollment from the mid-80s to 100 and then toward 150 over subsequent years while adding part-time instructors and embedding community-college coursework for early-college credit. Trustees asked questions about program costs, the use of course-accelerator vendors, and staffing models; administration emphasized balancing program revenue and main-campus enrollment caps.

Student-support issues surfaced during committee reports: concerns about smoking in restrooms, the need to publicize office hours and PSW availability, and supports for student-athletes who miss school for competitions. The Black Student Union’s community toy drive and other student-engagement activities were also highlighted.

Next steps included continued enrollment monitoring, dialogue on BBA staffing and sustainability, and follow-up on student-support staffing levels and outreach.
