Clovis Unified board adopts positive financial certification, approves facility agreements and E‑Rate vendor
Summary
On March 19, 2025, the Clovis Unified Governing Board unanimously approved a Positive Certification on its Second Interim Financial Report and approved multiple facility- and procurement-related actions including pre-construction agreements and an E‑Rate bid award to Development Group.
Clovis Unified’s Governing Board on March 19, 2025, approved the District’s Second Interim Financial Report and adopted a Positive Certification required by Assembly Bill 1200, signaling the district’s fiscal outlook for the remainder of the 2024–25 school year. The vote was unanimous.
The board also approved several facility- and procurement-related actions intended to advance planned 2025 projects. Members approved updated educational specifications for secondary school sites and authorized pre-construction management service agreements to assign construction firms for 2025 facility projects. The board adopted Resolution No. 4039 declaring the district’s intent to convey rights of way to Fresno County and grant easements to Pacific Gas and Electric for underground utilities, and it set a public hearing for April 2, 2025, no earlier than 6:45 p.m., regarding acquisition of a right of way for street improvements related to the Terry P. Bradley Educational Center (APN 310-310-32).
On procurement, the board awarded Bid No. 3020 for E‑Rate funding for the 2025–26 school year to Development Group for future purchases. The board also ratified purchase orders, district contracts and warrants numbered 689450 through 690133 and approved change orders and notices of completion listed on the consent agenda. All motions in the public session were recorded as passed by a 7–0 vote.

Why it matters: The Positive Certification under Assembly Bill 1200 indicates the district expects to meet its financial obligations through the fiscal year, a routine but significant determination for district budgeting and for contractors and vendors planning for 2025 projects. The pre-construction agreements and the E‑Rate award move project planning and technology procurement forward; the conveyance and easement resolutions schedule public hearings required before property changes are finalized.
Next steps: The board set a public hearing for April 2, 2025, on the Terry P. Bradley Educational Center right-of-way matter. Information items including proposed Resolution No. 4040 and Resolution No. 4037 (eminent domain proceedings related to APN 310-310-32) remain on the agenda for future action.
