Oakdale board adopts consent calendar, approves trustee pay adjustment and orders November 2026 election

The Oakdale Joint Unified School District board approved several routine and governance items during the meeting, including adoption of the consent calendar, a trustee-compensation adjustment, and a resolution ordering the November 3, 2026 governing-board election.

During the consent portion of the meeting, a motion to adopt the consent calendar was moved and seconded and carried on a roll-call vote; trustees responded "aye" and the clerk recorded the item as passed on the record. The transcript notes the item "Passes 5 with 1 extension."

On board compensation, the superintendent recommended aligning trustee pay with negotiated increases received by other district staff: "Therefore, as superintendent of the Oakdale Unified School District, I recommend that the board of trustees approve the 4% increase to the annual board compensation retroactive to 07/01/2025," the superintendent said. A motion to approve the 4% adjustment was made and approved by voice vote.

The board also adopted Resolution 25-26-16 ordering the governing-board election consolidated with the statewide general election on Nov. 3, 2026, to elect three trustees (areas 1, 4 and 5) for four-year terms; the resolution directs that copies be delivered to the county superintendent and the election officer and notes candidate-statement payment requirements at filing.

In reports the board received a first reading on revised board policy 3400 (management of district assets), including a recommendation to raise the capitalization threshold from $5,000 to $10,000 to align with a federal change to the Office of Management and Budget threshold that took effect Oct. 1, 2024; staff said they will return in June with the updated policy language for review.
