Superintendent outlines updated strategic plan and federal Title VI compliance concerns; wellness centers expand
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Sabah presented a refreshed strategic plan centered on values (belonging, relationships, innovation, data-driven decisions, growth, excellence, sustainability), reported on federal Title VI affidavit requests and California's response strategy, and highlighted expansion of high-school wellness centers and a positive WASC visit for career programs.
Superintendent Dr. Sabah briefed trustees on an updated strategic plan and several operational matters. The revised strategic plan emphasizes values summarized as "BRIDGES" (belonging, relationships, innovation, data-driven decisions, growth, excellence, sustainability) and retains priorities of safety and wellness, equitable achievement, and sustainable systems.
On federal developments, Dr. Sabah described recent federal requests related to Title VI assurances and explained that the California Department of Education advised LEAs not to sign a federal affidavit directly and that the state would correspond with the U.S. Department of Education. "At this point, we're not considering completing the letter because the California Department of Education did provide a letter to the US Department of Education," Dr. Sabah said, and noted the state is pursuing litigation in several related matters.
Dr. Sabah also updated trustees on student supports: three wellness centers are now open at county high schools, and the COE aims to expand wellness centers across all high schools. The superintendent announced a favorable WASC visit that may result in six‑year accreditation for the county’s career and technical education program.
