Board approves consent agenda and a slate of contracts, articulations and resolutions (votes at a glance)
Summary
The Calexico Unified board approved the consent agenda and multiple agreements including an AVID three‑year renewal, articulation agreements with Imperial Valley College (fire protection, welding), contracts for H‑1B services and Hyundai LMS, and resolutions on staff reductions tied to ESSER funding expirations.
The board approved a broad consent calendar and a set of individual agreements and resolutions at its April 25 meeting. Most motions passed unanimously (5–0).
Key votes and outcomes at a glance:
• AVID/Abbott contract renewal (Item pulled for discussion, then approved): trustees asked why the district sought a three‑year arrangement; Alyssa Ramirez (assistant superintendent of educational services) explained a three‑year contract reduces paperwork and allows annual invoicing and midterm program adjustments. Motion approved 5–0.
• High‑Tech High chronic absenteeism consortium (see separate item): board approved district participation (first year free; future MOU $50,000) 5–0.
• Engagement letter for Wilkinson Hatley King LLC (audit services for FY24–25): procedural engagement letter approved 5–0.
• Articulation agreements with Imperial Valley College: fire protection (Fire 100) and welding (WELD 100) articulations for 2025–26 were approved 5–0 to provide articulated college credit where listed.
• Agreements for other services and programs: board approved contracts for individualized education evaluations (GetSite Inc.), Mobile Productions science presentations, IAG/IAG host services for H‑1B teacher exchange, Hyundai LMS for auto program, Pixabite technology upgrades for Family Resource Center, Paragon Inspection (DSA inspector services) and All American Inspections for building work, Galileo Learning for summer enrichment, and ASE certification testing—each approved by voice vote (typically 5–0).
• Resolutions on reductions/terminations: the board adopted resolutions to notify classified and certified employees of potential termination of services where positions were funded by expired one‑time ESSER funding; the board noted most positions were absorbed or reassigned, but two positions will be eliminated. Motions passed 5–0.
Why it matters: The approvals advance curriculum articulation, facility projects and student programming, while resolutions tied to ESSER expirations signal staffing changes driven by funding shifts. Trustees asked clarifying questions where needed; staff committed to annual contract reviews and continuing to align programs with district strategic planning.
