Summary

Following a brief public hearing with no speakers, the board adopted resolution 10-25/26 accounting for developer fees (Fund 25). The board also unanimously approved comprehensive school safety plans, school plans for student achievement and school accountability report cards.

During a public hearing opened at 7:25 p.m., the board presented resolution 10-25/26 — the annual accounting of developer fees for fiscal year 2024–25 in Fund 25 (Capital Facilities). District staff explained developer fees are assessed on new development and home additions to fund facility needs and that those funds are restricted to facilities expenditures; some funds are shared with Whittier Union when applicable. With no public speakers on the item, the board closed the hearing and voted to adopt the resolution by unanimous roll call.

On related operational items, the board approved comprehensive school safety plans for all elementary and middle schools for 2026–27. Superintendent Dr. Patterson said the plans reflect a three-year process supported by grant funding and a district safety committee with representatives from every site. The board also approved school plans for student achievement and the 2025–26 school accountability report cards for the listed schools; Dr. Patterson noted pending state legislation to consolidate multiple required plans to reduce duplicate reporting.

All actions on these items passed on unanimous roll calls.
