Board approves CTE facilities application, donations and personnel resolutions

The Cloverdale Unified School District board approved multiple business and governance items during its meeting, including a grant-application authorization and routine personnel actions.

Donations: The board accepted several donations supporting school activities and classrooms, including gifts from local organizations and individuals earmarked for track and field, fifth-grade classes, and graduation activities. The acceptance motion passed by voice vote.

CTE facilities funding: Trustees approved Resolution 226-16 authorizing staff to file applications with the State Allocation Board for the Career Technical Education facilities program to support CTE projects in the district. Board members discussed the five-year facilities master plan process, estimated consultant costs (board referenced historical fees in the tens of thousands), and confirmed staff will proceed with an RFP and timeline for an updated master plan.

Personnel and hiring authority: The board approved the annual 2026–27 Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators to allow the district flexibility in hiring where credentialing pathways apply. Trustees also adopted Resolution 226-13 (specifications of the election order) to prepare for the upcoming board election cycle and approved final actions on Resolution 226-14 and Resolution 226-15, which relate to required notices concerning certificated and classified positions. Staff noted one certificated FTE affected by non-reeployment timelines and that a classified employee subsequently accepted a different district role, eliminating the need to issue a layoff notice in that case.

All formal items on the consent calendar and the listed resolutions were approved by motions with trustees recording “aye” on voice votes and no absences noted in the meeting record.
