At the June 18, 2025 legislative meeting the Woodland Hills SD Board of Education approved multiple policy readings and routine finance items and adopted the district’s final general fund budget for the 2025–26 school year.
The board voted on a package of policy maintenance items drawn from the PSBA policy maintenance review and approved several second/final readings for policies including policy 006.2 (meetings), policy 008 (organization plan), and 309.1 (telework). Votes on policy items recorded in the transcript included several roll-call tallies: motions described as passing by 6–2 and 7–1 on different items; a consent-calendar motion passed 8–0.
On finance matters the board approved the June 2025 bill list and ratified invoices paid after the May 21 legislative meeting; those motions passed by roll-call tallies reported in the meeting as 6–2. The board also approved the final general fund budget for the 2025–26 school year; the motion to adopt the final general fund budget passed with a recorded tally of 6–2.
Other routine items approved for informational purposes included acceptance of April 2025 fund and student-activity reports and April investment reports. During discussion of the investment report a staff member explained that tax-collection funds initially held in a bank account that does not earn interest are transferred to other banks for interest-bearing investments (for example, certificates of deposit), and that the investment report lists current maturities and rates.
Why it matters: Adoption of the final general fund budget sets the district’s spending framework for the coming school year; policy adoptions and retirements update governance rules and administrative procedures. Several approvals were decided on roll-call votes rather than unanimous consent, reflecting divided board votes on some items.
Actions taken (selected): approval of policy second/final readings (multiple items), adoption of the final general fund 2025–26 budget (motion passed 6–2), approval of bill lists and ratification of post-May invoices (motions passed 6–2), acceptance of P‑card and fund reports (motions passed by recorded tallies noted in the transcript). The meeting record shows motions were moved and seconded; in one instance, Mara Allen Thomas is recorded as seconding a motion.
