MDUSD trustees hear LCAP and 2627 budget proposals, approve several appointments and course revisions
Summary
At its June 10 meeting, the Mount Diablo Unified board opened a public hearing on the draft LCAP, reviewed a proposed 2627 budget with multiyear deficit projections, and approved several personnel appointments and high-school course revisions.
The Mount Diablo Unified School District board on June 10 held public hearings on the draft Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) and the proposed 2627 budget, and approved multiple appointments and curriculum revisions.
LCAP presentation: Christina Filios Yanagopoulos and the district team summarized the draft 2026–27 LCAP, which retains four broad goals and an equity-multiplier focus and incorporates feedback from more than 2,600 parents, nearly 1,800 students and multiple advisory groups. The plan emphasizes standards-based instruction, student wellness, multilingual learner supports and targeted interventions for focal scholar groups. The district invited public feedback through 4 p.m. on June 17 and posted translated materials and infographics online.
Budget presentation: A district fiscal presenter, Adrian, outlined the proposed 2627 budget required for adoption by July 1. The presentation explained a statutory COLA of 2.87% and a proposed "super COLA" that brings the total to 4.31%, noted a state holdback that affects projected revenue, and described proposed use of one-time student-support and learning-recovery funds. The LCAP-aligned budgeted expenditures tied to the LCAP total about $65.3 million. Multiyear projections show planned deficit spending (projected net deficit spending of about $12.7 million over the planning window) while preserving a 3% reserve; the district said it will bring a revised budget back to the board after the state enacts its budget and will present a 45- and 60-day update as needed.
Appointments and approvals: The board approved the appointment of Lee McPeek as athletic compliance officer, Dr. Ethel Burton as principal of Valley View Middle School, and Julian Ermson as principal of Mountain View Elementary after human-resources presentations and motions. The board also approved a resolution ordering the November 2026 governing-board election and approved revisions to board policy BP 34-52 (student activity funds) and a set of high-school course-of-study revisions for English, chemistry/earth system and VAPA offerings.
Trustees and speakers praised the clarity and readability of the LCAP materials and the district's efforts to provide translated, infographic summaries. No final budget adoption occurred at the June 10 meeting; staff said they will return with any state-enacted adjustments and a final adoption schedule.
