Glendora Unified trustees approve LCAP and adopt 2024-25 budget after staff review of local indicators
Summary
Glendora Unified trustees on June 20 adopted the district'9s 2024-25 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and approved the final 2024-25 budget after a staff presentation on California'9s local indicators. A public commenter asked for clarification on spending shifts and local enrollment declines.
Glendora Unified School District trustees voted on June 20 to approve the district'9s Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for 2024-25 and to adopt the final budget for the 2024-25 school year following a staff presentation on the California Dashboard local indicators.
District staff described the local-indicator process used by the State Board of Education and explained the district'9s self-reflection ratings on a 1-to-5 scale. A staff member said the district "did not give ourselves as the self-reflection of five in any area because we're always improving in all of those areas," and emphasized planned professional development in math and continued work on access to a broad course of study.
During public comment, Michael Baron asked the board to clarify recent reported shifts in budget lines and to note enrollment trends. Baron said the budget packet showed "books and supplies were down to $2.4 million" for 2024-25 while "services and other operating expenses were up $2.3 million and that was up 21%," and he argued that Glendora'9s multi-year enrollment decline appeared steeper than the statewide rate.
Trustees then discussed other items on the agenda. A trustee voiced support for a proposed state-level ban on student cell phones during instructional time, noting local middle-school bans and saying there will likely be "growing pains" at the high school. The same trustee offered remarks marking Pride Month and encouraged community participation in a local Pride event.
The board moved and seconded approval of the LCAP (item 4.1); the facilitator announced the motion passed. The board also moved and seconded approval of the 2023-24 estimated actuals and the final 2024-25 budget (item 4.2); that motion also passed. Neither motion record included the names of the mover or seconder or a roll-call tally in the transcript.
The meeting, which opened with roll call and the Pledge of Allegiance, was adjourned at 5:24 p.m.
