Summary
The board approved Section B (governance/administration) of the Santa Barbara County SELPA local plan for 2026–2029 and adopted resolutions recognizing Classified School Employee Week (May 17–23) and Day of the Teacher (May 13).
The board approved the three‑year governance and administration section (Section B) of the Santa Barbara County SELPA local plan for 2026–2029, as required by the California Department of Education. The district's director of special education explained that the update reflects recent SELPA restructuring and adjustments to budget distribution among member local educational agencies.
Separately, the board adopted Resolution No. 28‑2025‑2026 declaring May 17–23 as Classified School Employee Week and Resolution No. 29‑2025‑2026 declaring May 13 as Day of the Teacher; members discussed plans for staff snacks and other recognition events. The motions for the resolutions and the SELPA section passed on roll‑call votes with all present board members voting yes.
Board members used the recognitions to thank classified and certificated staff for service during difficult times and to highlight partnerships that support culturally responsive programs and student services.
