The Santa Paula Unified School District Board of Trustees approved a package of personnel studies, service agreements and a routine budget resolution at its meeting held at Barbara Webster Elementary.
Board members voted to authorize a salary study for the director of child nutrition services, a step staff said would compare the director’s pay against neighboring districts but would not itself change pay. A district staff member said the director requested the study after comparing schedules with other districts and bringing that evidence to the district.
The board also approved a one‑year service agreement with the University of California, Santa BarbaraEarly Academic Outreach Program to fund site coordinators at Isabelle Middle School and Santa Paula High School. Trustees asked whether funding for the UCSB coordinators is renewable; staff said the program this year is being covered by an expiring 'a–g access' grant and that continuation would require either grant renewal or general‑fund support.
The board approved a one‑year placement agreement with nonpublic school Casa Pacifica to serve three students in 2025–26 at a total cost of $264,000, covering specialized academic instruction, transportation and related mental‑health services.
In business services, trustees adopted Resolution No. 25 26.08 establishing the district’s estimated appropriations limit for 2025–26 and reporting prior year calculations; staff described the calculation as complex and said the district has not exceeded the GANN limit.
The board also accepted several donations totaling $4,995.37 from local businesses and community groups for athletics and community partnership events, and approved the consent calendar of routine items.
According to the meeting record, motions on the listed items carried on board votes reported as unanimous (4–0). The board scheduled its next regular meeting for Oct. 22.
