Jefferson Union board adopts 2026'27 budget, LCAP and a package of personnel and policy items
Summary
By voice vote the board approved the 2026'27 budget, the 2026'27 LCAP, a CSBA resolution on student achievement and a set of personnel and administrative items including a maintenance-assessment-district resolution; several trustees asked for clarifying recaps and operational metrics.
The Jefferson Union High School District board approved multiple routine and policy items in a single meeting after a scheduled presentation on local indicators.
Key approvals
- Resolution 2025'26-21 (CSBA SOS for Student Achievement): Board approved a resolution supporting the California School Boards Association's statewide initiative to align supports to close persistent achievement gaps and encouraged local letters of support for bills referenced by CSBA. The resolution was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote.
- 2026'27 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP): Staff recommended the plan, which includes investments in mental-health and wellness services, instructional coaching, dual-enrollment and student-voice initiatives. The board approved the LCAP by voice vote. Staff said projected supplemental funding to support unduplicated students is approximately $4.66 million for 2026'27.
- Certificated substitute side-letter agreement with AFT 1481: The agreement aligns substitute contract language with current district practices (priority assignments and mandated trainings). Approved by voice vote.
- Salary revisions for unrepresented employees: The board approved unrepresented salary increases that mirror AFT 1481 increases. The presentation listed updated annual salaries: Executive Director of YouthPoint Health $197,600; Deputy Superintendent $253,437; Superintendent $295,381. The board approved the revisions by voice vote.
- 2026'27 Budget adoption: Deputy Superintendent for Business Services Van Raporst reported no changes since the previous presentation and recommended adoption; the board adopted the budget by voice vote.
- Maintenance Assessment District resolution: Staff recommended continuing the Jefferson High School District maintenance assessment district that staff said generates roughly $350,000 annually. A public hearing was opened and, with no public comments, the board approved the resolution by motion and voice vote. Trustees raised a postvote question about the resolution numbering in the record and staff clarified the agenda labeling.
Procedure and votes
Most approvals were taken by motion, second and a voice vote recorded as "all in favor" in the meeting transcript; the record does not include a roll-call tally by name for those items. Where staff provided numeric detail (salaries, budget totals, and the MAD revenue estimate), trustees requested those figures be included in the meeting recap.
Next steps
Staff said the LCAP, budget and personnel changes will be reflected in the district's published documents and in the meeting recap; trustees asked staff to include additional operational metrics (real-time credential data, language-line usage, and wellness-counselor utilization) to monitor implementation and equity results.
