Board unanimously approves after‑school, staffing and placement contracts
Summary
The Santa Paula Unified board approved one‑year service agreements including an occupational therapist contract, a Boys & Girls Club afterschool contract, and an Autism Academy placement; the board also approved related donations and vendor notices. Trustees directed program evaluations for the after‑school services.
The Santa Paula Unified School District board approved several contracts and service agreements during its regular meeting, including an occupational therapist staffing contract, a one‑year after‑school services agreement with the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clara Valley, and a special‑education placement agreement with Autism Academy. Each measure passed on recorded board votes.
On staffing, the board approved a contract with Blazer Works to fill a current occupational therapist vacancy.
On after‑school services, trustees discussed late procurement timing and contract details with Julie Bergman, director of elementary education. The Boys & Girls Club contract described a one-year program that would run 17.5 hours per week (3.5 hours per day), serve 28 students per site across six schools for the 25-26 year, and charge $4 per student for food costs plus a 12% administrative fee. Trustees asked staff to add the per-day hours on the contract and to provide a program evaluation to the board in March 2026 before renewal decisions. The board approved the contract 5-0.
The board also approved a one-year placement contract with Autism Academy for a student under the special-education IEP process; that agreement also passed on a 5-0 vote.
Trustees approved donations (example: $750 from Bank of the Sierra for a STEAM backpack program) and a notice of completion for Schneider Electric's district energy-savings work. They also authorized a retainer agreement with an outside law firm to supplement legal services.
Trustees and staff agreed to conduct program evaluations (surveys and outcome reviews) for after‑school vendors and to revisit contracts before renewals.
Votes: Each of these action items recorded board approval (votes recorded in the transcript as passing unanimously).
