The Clovis Unified Governing Board on June 10 adopted the district'026-27 Special Education Annual Service Plan and Annual Budget Plan and approved multiple service agreements intended to support students with special needs.
The board voted 6-0 to adopt the Special Education plan (Action M.1). The meeting record shows the board also authorized an increase to the 2025-26 contract amount with Educational Mental Health Associates (EMHA) and an annual agreement for the 2026-27 year; it likewise authorized an increase and annual agreement with JDT Consultants for therapeutic behavior services.
In addition, the board approved the recommended membership for the Clovis Unified Special Education Community Advisory Committee (CAC) in compliance with the SELPA CAC bylaws (Education Code section 56190) and authorized a triennial Memorandum of Understanding with the Central Valley Regional Center to provide early intervention services for children aged 0 to 3 from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029.

Other related approvals included an annual professional-services agreement with Behavioral Intervention, Coaching, and Consulting (BICC) for staff training and services and an agreement with STAR Autism Support to provide curriculum and training for staff working with students with autism. The Perkins grant application for 2026-27 was also approved.
