The El Segundo Unified School District Board of Education on April 14 voted unanimously to approve several administrative items including a two‑year MTSS instructional coach position, updates to human resources policies and the district’s renewal of PowerSchool and Schoology.
Miss Ville, the district presenter for the staffing item, told the board the MTSS instructional coach/TOSA role is a two‑year position “funded through the student support professional development block grant.” She said the coach will focus on instructional coaching, tier‑2 intervention and facilitating data‑driven collaboration through PLCs to improve student outcomes, and recommended board approval. The motion to approve the job description carried 5–0.
Dr. Young presented the proposed HR policy updates and administrative regulations, saying they reflect recommendations from the California School Board Association and align district practice with state and federal regulations. After members asked clarifying questions, the board voted 5–0 to adopt the policies and regulations as presented.
On technology, Dr. Young recommended renewing the district’s agreement with PowerSchool, which the district uses for enrollment and student information, and retaining Schoology as the learning management system for secondary schools. The board approved the renewal 5–0.
The board also adopted Resolution 13 20 25 26 to recognize April 22, 2026, as Earth Day and encourage school and community participation in environmental education. Dr. Young described the resolution’s theme and recommended approval; the motion carried 5–0.
What the board approved: the MTSS instructional coach position (two‑year, grant‑funded), HR policy and administrative regulation updates aligned with CSBA guidance (to ensure compliance with state and federal rules), renewal of PowerSchool/Schoology for the 2026–27 school year, and an Earth Day resolution establishing April 22 as Earth Day districtwide.
Board procedure and votes: For each item the presenter recommended approval, a board member moved and another seconded, and Chair called for the board’s vote. The chair announced each motion “carries 5–0,” indicating unanimous approval on the recorded items.
Next steps: The approved job description and policy changes move into implementation by district staff under existing administrative timelines; the PowerSchool renewal will be executed per district contracting procedures. The resolution assigns no binding obligations beyond encouraging participation and environmental education activities.
