Clovis Unified board approves Verizon license, labor pact and resolutions to pursue Proposition 2 funding
Summary
At its March 5 meeting, the Clovis Unified Governing Board approved an option and license agreement with Verizon Wireless for equipment at Clovis High School, a tentative agreement with ACE Psychologists and Mental Health Support Providers, and three resolutions to pursue Proposition 2 facility funding; most motions passed unanimously.
Clovis Unified School District’s Governing Board on March 5 approved a series of actions including a license agreement with Verizon Wireless to place communications equipment on the Clovis High School campus, a tentative labor agreement with ACE Psychologists and Mental Health Support Providers, and resolutions enabling the district to pursue Proposition 2 facility funding.
The board approved the option and license agreement with Fresno MSA Limited Partnership, doing business as Verizon Wireless, authorizing installation, operation and maintenance of a communications antenna and related equipment on a designated space at Clovis High School. The motion passed 7‑0. The board’s action authorizes district representatives to finalize the agreement and proceed with the site arrangement.
On labor matters, the board approved a tentative reopener bargaining agreement for the 2024‑25 school year with ACE Psychologists and Mental Health Support Providers. Board Member Steven Fogg moved the motion, which was seconded by Board Member Wilma Tom Hashimoto and adopted 7‑0.
The board also adopted three resolutions tied to procurement and facility funding. Resolution No. 4033 self‑certifies an increased federal micro‑purchase threshold under 2 C.F.R. §200.320 to align district procurement with federal grant rules; the resolution passed 7‑0. Resolution No. 4035 addresses the master plan requirement for California Proposition 2, and Resolution No. 4036 authorizes the district and its appointed representatives to file modernization and/or new construction applications for eligibility and funding through the School Facility Program with the Office of Public School Construction; both resolutions passed 7‑0.
Earlier in the meeting, the board conducted a public hearing on supporting applications for eligibility and funding through Proposition 2; district staff reported the hearing opened at 7:17 p.m. and no members of the public spoke on the item.
Other action items approved included the Expanded Learning Club fee structure (motion by Board Member Tiffany Stoker Madsen, seconded by Board Member Clinton Olivier; passed 7‑0) and a series of CSBA Delegate Assembly votes allocating the district’s votes among regional nominees; those delegate votes recorded several split decisions, including 6‑1 outcomes on nominations where Board Member Clinton Olivier voted no.
The board announced the results of closed‑session votes at the start of the public meeting: routine personnel matters and a student discipline matter (Student 25‑17) were approved; both closed‑session motions were disclosed as having passed 7‑0 and were moved by Board Member Steven Fogg and seconded by Board Member Clinton Olivier.
What’s next: several information items on the agenda—such as the district’s Second Interim Financial Report and pre‑construction management services for 2025 facility projects—were provided for review and are expected to return for board action at a future meeting.
The board adjourned at 7:54 p.m.
