V. Oral Presentations
A.
Annual Board Evaluation
The Board reviewed the results of its annual self-evaluation and identified collaboration, student-centered decision-making, sound governance practices, fiscal stewardship, strong leadership, effective communication, and a positive Board-Superintendent relationship as key strengths. Areas for continued focus included Board and leadership succession planning, student achievement, organizational improvement, staff recruitment and retention, and the evolving educational and fiscal landscape.
The Board agreed that the current evaluation tool remains effective but recommended minor updates to ensure alignment with current accountability, authorizer, and compliance requirements, while continuing to address succession planning. Members also discussed maintaining continuity through appropriately staggered Board terms. Staff will incorporate the revisions, and the completed evaluation will return to the Board as an action item in September.
No Board action was taken on this item.
B.
Strategic Planning and Initiatives Discussion
C. Feher, Superintendent, presented a proposed three-year strategic planning framework developed with CalPac’s administrative leadership team and aligned with the LCAP. The framework focuses on three primary goals: Student Achievement and Growth, Fiscal Health and Strategic Growth, and Innovation and Leadership. Discussion included strengthening MTSS and CalPac Cares, reducing chronic absenteeism, expanding targeted interventions, supporting college and career readiness, maintaining a balanced budget, strategically managing enrollment, and expanding CTE, dual enrollment, leadership development, succession planning, and cross-training.
The Board also discussed how the strategic goals align with department-level priorities across elementary, middle school, high school, and special education, including the use of real-time student data, instructional alignment, enrichment, tutoring, family engagement, and student belonging. Members supported the overall direction of the framework and recommended incorporating CalPac’s mission and vision, continuing to gather staff input, and ensuring public-facing materials reflect the school’s programs and innovation. The Board requested that the strategic plan return in the spring for a progress update on implementation and identified goals.
No Board action was taken on this item.
