At the Sept. 15 Calipatria Unified School District special meeting, cheer coach Cristina Felix asked trustees for help covering travel and other costs for 44 cheerleaders, saying she had spent $8,800 on uniforms; a local donor contributed $1,051.
At a Sept. 15 special meeting of the Calipatria Unified School District Board of Trustees, Calipatria High School cheer coach Cristina Felix asked trustees for transportation and financial assistance for an away football-game trip for a squad of 44 cheerleaders. Felix told the board she had purchased new uniforms for the squad and reported a uniform cost of $8,800.
Board minutes record that trustee members heard Felix’s request during the public forum. Tania Solorio also addressed the board and provided a $1,051 donation toward a spirit pack; the minutes note the donation was intended as a reimbursement to football players for the pack. The board’s public forum rules—stated at the meeting—allow individual speakers three minutes each and limit total public input to 20 minutes.
The minutes do not show a formal board vote or an appropriation linked to Felix’s request; the item was recorded as public comment. Coach Felix’s request and Solorio’s donation were entered into the record for the board’s consideration when future budget or transportation decisions are discussed.
