Los Alamitos board certifies budget, approves new courses and facility agreements in unanimous votes

The Los Alamitos Unified School District Board approved a slate of consent and action items at its March meeting, including certification of the 2025–26 second interim report, new high-school course offerings, facility agreements and routine business items.

Director of Fiscal Services Tim Golden presented the district’s second interim financial report (data through Jan. 31), reviewed enrollment and ADA assumptions and reported a modest improvement in projected enrollment and funded ADA compared with earlier projections. After discussion, the board certified the district’s financial status for the current year and the subsequent two years.

In other action the board approved four new Los Alamitos High School courses: additions intended to expand CTE and student choice that include AP-level and industry-focused offerings and a music 'soft-landing' option. The board also accepted the lone responsive bid from Keystone Builders for high school restroom renovations and approved an amended joint-use agreement with the City of Los Alamitos for Oak Middle School gym and community center scheduling and maintenance matters.

The board adopted a resolution moving the Lincoln holiday observation to align with Presidents’ Week (roll-call vote recorded 5–0), approved warrants totaling $3,415,949.54, accepted community donations, and approved certificated, classified and administrative personnel reports reflecting recent staffing changes. A stipulated suspension/expulsion waiver was also approved by board motion.

All action items reported in this roundup were approved by the board during the meeting (voice or roll-call votes as recorded in minutes). The board then announced it would move into closed session.
