Board approves Proposition 28 report and accepts $25,000 county arts grant
Summary
Trustees approved the Proposition 28 annual report summarizing 2024-25 uses (teacher hires, program expansion, professional development, materials and Title I access) and accepted a $25,000 Los Angeles County Arts Advancement Grant to support preschool-through-6th-grade arts programming.
Assistant Superintendent Julie McBride presented the District's Proposition 28 annual report for the 2024-25 school year, explaining that state law requires at least 80% of funds be used to hire arts and music teachers and no more than 1% for administrative costs. The Board approved the report by voice vote (4-0; one absence).
Mrs. McBride also reported the district was awarded a $25,000 Arts Advancement Grant from the Los Angeles County Arts Education Collective to support visual and performing arts for preschool through sixth grade; the Board approved acceptance of the grant. The transcript records the District used Proposition 28 funds for hiring arts/music teachers, expanding programs at all nine schools, professional development, materials/equipment, and increased access at Title I schools.
