Poway Unified board approves LCAP, proposed 2026–27 budgets and several staff appointments
Summary
The Poway Unified board unanimously approved the 2026–27 Local Control and Accountability Plan, adopted proposed budgets and Resolution 99‑2026 directing staff to identify budget‑reduction options, and confirmed multiple staff appointments reported out of closed session.
The Poway Unified School District board on June 15 approved the district’s 2026–27 Local Control and Accountability Plan and adopted proposed budgets and a resolution directing staff to identify budget‑reduction solutions for 2026–27 and 2027–28.
Associate Superintendent Peterson presented the 2026–27 LCAP update, noting the item had been the subject of a public hearing on June 11. "Because of our current cadence of our accountability cycle," Peterson said, much of the local‑indicator information overlaps with LCAP reporting. After the presentation, the board voted unanimously to approve the LCAP update.
On budget matters, staff presented supporting documents, criterion standards and Resolution 99‑2026, described in the agenda as "authorization to identify the amount of budget reduction solutions needed in 2026–27 and 2027–28 and require that a list of budget reduction solutions for 2026–27 be included in the 2026–27 first interim report." Board member Dell outlined the materials and requested the board approve the resolution; the motion passed 4–0.
The meeting also reported closed‑session appointments made earlier: Joseph Persapio (principal, site to be determined), Shannon Parker (Director II, Curriculum & Educational Technology — Secondary), Hans Becker (Executive Director, Career & Technical Education — Secondary) and Dr. Christopher Robertson (Director, Compliance & Employee Relations). Clerk Dougherty reported the votes were unanimous.
What’s next: Business Services was directed to prepare a list of budget‑reduction options for the first interim report; Human Resources will complete onboarding for newly appointed staff and report back with start dates.
Ending: The board closed the meeting after member reports and acknowledged upcoming retirements; it will reconvene Aug. 6 at 6 p.m.
