Santa Paula Unified approves safety plans, curriculum purchases, contracts and endorses CSBA candidate
Summary
At its regular meeting the Santa Paula Unified board adopted comprehensive safety plans, accepted the Williams report, approved curriculum and technology purchases, renewed legal services, accepted donations and voted to support trustee Tommy Frutos in a CSBA delegate runoff.
The Santa Paula Unified School District board approved a series of routine but consequential operational items during its regular meeting, including comprehensive school safety plans, K–5 English language arts and ELD instructional-material purchases, a performing-arts sound-system contract funded by Proposition 28 site allocations, renewal of legal-services arrangements, acceptance of the quarterly Williams report and several donations to student programs.
During the meeting the board also voted to support Trustee Tommy Frutos in the CSBA delegate-assembly runoff election after a motion and preferential vote; Frutos abstained from the board vote because he was the nominee. Trustees approved the Lozano Smith legal-services renewal (staff said rates did not increase and that combined usage with the prior firm was about 65% through Lozano Smith).
Other approvals included adoption of a job description for a grant-funded reading and literacy specialist (three-year grant), acceptance of donations totaling several hundred dollars for Young Writers and Isbell Band programs, and approval of the consent calendar. The board thanked staff and law-enforcement partners for reviewing the comprehensive school safety plans before voting to adopt them.
