Summary
After clarifying that a December vote on the first interim report was treated as invalid pending legal counsel, the board unanimously approved the resubmitted 2025–26 first interim report and confirmed there were no changes to the report since Dec. 15.
The board moved and unanimously approved the resubmitted 2025–26 first interim financial report after Superintendent Dr. Patterson and board members explained the resubmission process. Board members earlier reported the December 15 vote on the first interim had been flagged as a procedural error; legal counsel advised a revote. Dr. Patterson told the board the report was unchanged since Dec. 15 and that the Los Angeles County Office of Education had been notified as needed.
During discussion, board members raised procedural questions and confirmed that typical budget assumptions — such as cost-of-living adjustments and multi-year revenue assumptions — remained in place. One board member noted the interim packet was 130 pages and that they had reviewed it. The motion to approve was moved, seconded and passed by unanimous roll call.
No specific program cuts or personnel actions were enacted at the meeting; Dr. Patterson reiterated that final personnel decisions rest with the board and that the interim report presents assumptions, not final actions.
