Clovis Unified adopts dress-and-grooming regulation and approves several 2025–26 school plans
Summary
The Governing Board adopted revisions to Administrative Regulation 5132 on dress and grooming and authorized annual School Plans for Student Achievement, a new CART course proposal and several administrator contract renewals during its May 21 meeting.
The Clovis Unified Governing Board on May 21 adopted revisions to Administrative Regulation No. 5132 (Dress and Grooming) and approved several school-planning and curriculum items for the 2025–26 school year.
Board action: The Board voted to adopt the recommended revisions to AR 5132 (Dress and Grooming); the motion passed, recorded as unanimous where noted. The Board also authorized the Annual School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and the categorical budgets for each school for 2025–26, allowing schools to implement their categorical programs. In addition, the Board authorized a new secondary course of study for the 2025–26 CART (Center for Advanced Research and Technology) catalog, labeled “AI by Design” in subcommittee discussion, and renewed the CART Chief Executive Officer’s contract.
Staff context: Staff presented a written summary of updates to the Local Control Accountability Plans (LCAPs) and new or revised actions and services intended to be included in LCAPs for Clovis Unified and Clovis Online School for 2025–26. The agenda lists the adoption of a reading-difficulty risk screener (mCLASS with DIBELS by Amplify Education) for K–2 teachers as an informational item under Q.16; the screener appears on the agenda for consideration but was not recorded as a formal Board vote at this meeting.
Why it matters: The dress-and-grooming regulation affects student expectations across the district; the SPSA and categorical budgets shape how each school will allocate targeted funds for student achievement. The CART course authorization and administrator contract renewals affect curriculum offerings and leadership continuity.
Next steps: Several district items (for example, the mCLASS screening instrument and the annual district budget) were listed under informational items for future Board consideration; public hearings were held on certain items with no public speakers recorded. The Board adjourned at 9:11 p.m.
