Yuma Union High School District board approves consent agenda, donations, compensation packet and concurrent enrollment fees

The Yuma Union High School District governing board approved multiple routine and action items at its December meeting, including the consent agenda, a list of community donations, an employee compensation packet for 2025–26, and coverage of concurrent enrollment fees for eligible students at Arizona Western College.

Board member Carlos moved and Shelley seconded approval of the consent agenda; the motion passed on a voice vote. The board then heard an itemized list of donations to schools and programs totaling $52,890.98 for the month and $441,851.59 year‑to‑date, including a $10,549.29 gift of fence slats and branding to Summerton High School athletics and several $2,500 gifts supporting school care closets. Christie moved acceptance of the donations, Shelley seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.

Under action item 6.2 the board approved the revised employee compensation packet for the 2025–26 school year (motion by Carlos, seconded by Shelley). Later, under action item 6.3 the board voted to approve payment of concurrent enrollment tuition, technology and transportation fees at Arizona Western College for eligible students effective July 1, 2026; Jackie moved the measure and Shelley seconded. In discussion, staff explained that the fee provides enrolled students access to Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT) so students can travel to Arizona Western College without an additional transportation barrier.

All votes at the meeting were taken by voice and recorded in the minutes as carried; no roll‑call tallies were provided on the record.
