Summary
During the Jan. 14 meeting the board approved a series of routine items including minutes and financial reports, accepted the 2024–25 independent audit and corrective action plan, approved multiple personnel recommendations, and voted to ratify a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Oceanside Federation of Teachers establishing a teacher contract through 2031.
The Oceanside Union Free School District Board of Education moved through several routine but consequential actions during its Jan. 14 meeting.
The board approved the minutes of the Dec. 17, 2025 meeting and accepted financial and treasury reports and fund transfers as submitted. The chair then called for and the board approved professional, civil‑service, hourly and DACA personnel recommendations as presented by administration.
The board accepted the 2024–25 independent single audit report prepared by external auditors RS Abrams & Company and approved the district’s 24‑25 corrective action plan responding to findings in that audit.
On other business, trustees voted to approve updated 2025–26 overnight student field trips and to accept updated letters to be made part of the record. The board also approved recommendations for CSC and CPSE chairpersons as submitted.
The meeting included a motion to approve a memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the district and the Oceanside Federation of Teachers (OFT). The superintendent described the agreement as opening a one‑time negotiation that produced a five‑year contract running from 2026 through 2031 and said it includes a retirement incentive; the board voted to approve the MOA.
How the votes were recorded: motions were made, seconded and carried by voice vote throughout the meeting; the chair announced “motion passes” after each item. The transcript records those outcomes as approved by the board; individual roll‑call tallies or named yes/no votes were not recorded in the meeting transcript provided.
What this means: the accepted audit and corrective action plan conclude the district’s external audit cycle for 2024–25 and set an administrative response; the MOA establishes the new teacher contract term and any negotiated provisions will take effect under the timeline described by administration.
