Bradley Educational Center.
In addition, public hearings were scheduled for May 21, 2025, for the 2025-26 Special Education Annual Service Plan and Annual Budget Plan, the 2025-26 Local Control Accountability Plans for the District and Clovis Online School, and the 2025-26 Adopted Budget discussion including SB 858 justification for reserves and the Education Protection Account.
Other informational items included proposed administrative regulations, agreements for professional development and assessment services, the Annual School Plan for Student Achievement and categorical budgets, course proposals, the 2026-27 school calendar, and multiple administrator and assistant superintendent contracts slated for future board action.
What this means
Most approvals on May 7 were routine, unanimous actions that allow the district to proceed with vendor contracts, facility work, and administrative planning. The scheduling of the May 21 public hearing on Power Purchase Agreements signals an upcoming decision point for district solar installations at two sites. The Board adjourned at 8:26 p.m.
