Focus on wellness, especially with grades 1 and 5 due to incidences of physical contact.

Continuing town halls with students, MeAndMine app with teachers, staff consultations with PsychEd, African American girls affinity space, Saturday school reflection spaces (referred students with 4-8 incidences), and the Brightlife partnership will be more strongly embedded. Completed 2 year community schools cohort development.

VI. Finance

A.

Budget 26-27

The governor has proposed a 4.3% cost of living adjustment (COLA) for Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) funding which is double than expected. The funding rate for special education is proposed to increase to 40% and a Student Success and Professional Development grant will become available (275k 2027-2028 and 300k the year after for Mission Prep). Good news overall but with increases staffing next year, there is still a slight deficit of 184k (tk-6 director consolidated into a school director role, adding members to wellness team, 8% increase in health benefits costs).

D. Monte made a motion to Approve the budget.
J. Garcia seconded the motion.
The board VOTED to approve the motion.
