Board approves textbook adoptions, CSEA tentative agreement and routine consent items
Summary
During the meeting trustees approved science textbook adoptions for K–5 and 9–12, ratified a tentative agreement with CSEA Unit 891, approved a revised assistant superintendent job description, accepted donations, and adopted the consent calendar (5–0).
The Santa Paula Unified School District board approved several action items during the session: science textbook adoptions for grades 9–12 and K–5, a tentative agreement with the California School Employees Association (CSEA) Unit 891, a revised assistant superintendent of educational services job description, and routine consent‑calendar items.
Textbook adoptions: After staff confirmed that textbook samples had been available at the district office for at least 30 days, trustees moved and approved the adoptions for high‑school (grades 9–12) and elementary (K–5) science materials. Trustee Sandoval moved the 9–12 adoption and Trustee Kumazawa seconded; the motions passed.
Labor agreement: Human resources presented a tentative agreement with CSEA that updated layoff and reemployment articles, clarified seniority and bumping rights, revised job‑description MOUs (including a community schools outreach coordinator and PBAs for preschool and campus supervision), and addressed accrual/payout provisions for summer employees. Trustees moved and approved the tentative agreement.
Personnel and job descriptions: The board approved a revised assistant superintendent of educational services job description emphasizing secondary (grades 7–12) experience.
Financial and operational consent items: Trustees accepted $650 in donations for a young writers contest (Optimist Club $50, Jerry Burns $100, Santa Paula Federation of Teachers $500) and approved the annual transportation plan to submit to the Ventura County Office of Education. Staff also described plans to pursue an afternoon Ventura County Transit circuit and to lease electric buses as part of longer‑term transportation changes.
Consent calendar: The board adopted the consent calendar in a single motion; the vote was recorded as "Passes 5–0."
