Jurupa Unified reports more than $200,000 mental-health grant and multiple dual-enrollment awards
Summary
District staff told the board the California Department of Education awarded a $209,551 mental-health ADA grant and the district received extensions and awards for dual-enrollment and CTE grants totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars; state facilities funding now totals about $90.74 million.
District staff reported several grant awards and extensions at the July 28 meeting. Monty Owens said the California Department of Education awarded the district the 2025–26 Mental Health Average Daily Attendance grant "in the amount of 200,000 $209,551," and administrators noted a copy of the award notification was included in the meeting backup materials.
Daniel Brooks told the board two previously awarded dual-enrollment grants were extended statewide: a $100,000 career-and-college access pathways grant for Rubedo High School (extended from 06/30/2027 to 06/30/2028) and a $250,000 Middle College early-college grant also extended through 06/30/2028. Brooks also announced a Strengthening CTE grant award of $162,613 for the upcoming year.
Paula Ford reported the State Office of Public School Construction awarded $2,900,215 to match the Del Sol Academy classroom building addition; she added that, to date, the district has received $90,741,935.96 in School Facilities Program funding. Board members asked clarifying questions about whether larger figures referenced in earlier remarks applied to a single project or to district-wide bond totals; administration clarified the larger $90,000,000 figure referred to district-wide grant/bond receipts rather than a single school project.
Board members said the grants help offset federal budget pressures and will support services such as mental-health supports in students' individualized education programs.
