San Luis Coastal honors Janet Gold and local nominees for special-education impact awards
Summary
San Luis Coastal Unified and the county SELPA announced more than 170 nominations systemwide for the 2026 Special Education Impact Awards and recognized Janet Gold, the district’s executive director of student support services, as the district recipient for her leadership in special education.
Amber Gallagher, executive director for the county SELPA, told the board that the countywide nomination process for the 2026 Special Education Impact Awards drew more than 170 nominations. Gallagher read nominees across categories—classified staff, parents, related-service providers and teachers—and announced Janet Gold, executive director of student support services for the district, as the district’s special‑education impact award recipient for 2026.
Board members praised Gold’s 30‑plus years of service and her contributions to mental‑health, wellness and expanded support services for students with disabilities. Gold accepted the recognition and thanked district leaders and colleagues for their support; the board and staff paused for photos and an award presentation. The announcement was informational; no formal board action was taken.
