Board approves preliminary budget, personnel agreements and multiple contracts; votes at a glance

The Arrowhead Union High School District board approved a slate of administrative and budget items at its May meeting, including the district’s preliminary 2026–27 budget, fee schedules, staff handbooks, intergovernmental agreements and labor contract terms.

Key votes at the meeting included:

- Preliminary 2026–27 budget: Approved by the board; one member announced an abstention because they had not been present for the discussion and had outstanding questions.

- Student fee schedule (2026–27): Approved by voice vote.

- Facilities use fee schedule (2026–27): Approved by voice vote.

- 66.0301 occupational therapy services agreement: Approved by voice vote. Board members asked staff to ensure the contract version on file matched the intended scope and seats (staff later flagged a version discrepancy for CISA paperwork).

- Support staff and educator employee handbooks (2026–27): Both handbooks were approved; the board noted that minor edits can continue through June.

- Intergovernmental agreements (66.0301): Approved agreements to share a 7th–8th grade Spanish teacher with North Lake and an 8th-grade math teacher with Martin.

- Personnel agreement and compensation proposals (2026–27): The board approved the personnel agreement between the Arrowhead United Teachers Organization and the district (teachers had ratified the contract), and approved the proposed teaching and support staff compensation packages.

Several routine consent items (minutes, payments, donations and personnel reports) were also adopted. Board members asked that staff verify and, if necessary, replace a CISA contract uploaded to the board document repository with the correct version; staff will bring the corrected contract for review at the June meeting if needed.

The meeting record indicates approval by voice vote in most cases; the one explicit abstention was recorded for the preliminary budget.
