Summary

The board voted unanimously to pursue more information about adding a preschool program at Hillside School and asked staff to return with details on scope, costs and next steps.

The Chawanakee Unified School District Board of Trustees voted April 14 to direct staff to pursue additional information on a potential preschool expansion at the Hillside campus. Superintendent Jamie Nino introduced the initial discussion, and Trustee Seth Waltner moved to have the district research and return with recommendations; Trustee Elisabeth Parish seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Board members asked for a follow-up report with specifics on enrollment projections, facility needs and funding sources before any formal approval. The board record shows this was an initial step — the motion was to "approve pursuing more information regarding the preschool expansion program and bring it back to the board." No dollar amounts or timelines were approved at the meeting; the board requested staff present those details at a future meeting.
