Planada board approves $150,000 CPUC Digital Divide grant application and hears LCAP mid‑year update
Summary
Trustees approved a $150,000 CPUC Digital Divide grant application, received site and superintendent reports on enrollment and programs, and approved the 2024‑25 LCAP mid‑year report.
At its Feb. 13 meeting, the Planada Elementary School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve submitting a $150,000 application under the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Digital Divide Grant Program and approved the district’s 2024‑25 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Mid‑Year Report.
The board approved the CPUC grant application by a 5‑0 vote. The item authorizes district staff to submit the funding request; the minutes note the requested amount as $150,000 but do not specify project line items or match requirements.
During the presentations, site leaders reported current attendance and program updates. Mrs. Erica Villalobos reported district average daily attendance (ADA) of 574 and a 97.1% attendance rate, with seven students in independent study; Mr. Ildefonso Nava reported ADA of 307 and a 96.9% attendance rate at Cesar E. Chavez Middle School. Reports summarized ongoing activities including math professional development, AVID expansion, PBIS campus refreshers and PAW store incentives, ELOP programming, after‑school robotics and baseball, lockdown and evacuation drills, and plans for summer academy and early literacy for transitional kindergarten.
The board approved the LCAP Mid‑Year Report (carried 5‑0). Trustees added the LCAP mid‑year report to the agenda earlier in the meeting and voted to approve it after staff presentation.
Votes at a glance: the CPUC grant application (authorized $150,000) — approved 5‑0; 2024‑25 LCAP Mid‑Year Report — approved 5‑0; second reading and adoption of updated board policies — approved 5‑0; consent agenda items (minutes, agreements, safety plans, SARC) — approved (varied roll call; majority carried). The meeting included a CEC Drum Line performance and routine school and superintendent reports.
The board scheduled a study session for March 1 and discussed possible participation in the Small School Districts Association annual conference in April.
