This document outlines strategic goals for Central Unified School District from 2025 to 2030, focusing on significant improvements in student academic outcomes and overall school connectedness. Key objectives include increasing 2nd-grade reading proficiency, boosting the graduation rate, improving CAASPP assessment scores across subjects, enhancing English Learner proficiency, and reducing chronic absenteeism. The plan emphasizes inclusive classrooms, on-grade level and differentiated instruction, data-driven professional learning communities, and a culture of continuous improvement and accountability for both students and staff.

The committee addressed administrative items by approving the current agenda and the minutes from the June 6, 2013 meeting. The primary substantive discussion involved a Measure B Status Report review. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to technology within the district, featuring tours of Glacier Point and West Campus to examine wireless access points, smartboards, student tablet interaction, PA/phone systems, fiber optic backbone infrastructure, EMS, security cameras, fire alarms, and E-RATE capabilities for rural areas.

The meeting agenda includes a planning review for 2026-2027 educational services and an overview of the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). The subcommittee will also discuss potential topics for future meetings.

The subcommittee meeting agenda covers an extensive review of various district policies, including deferred maintenance funds, fees and charges, relations with vendors, claims and actions, travel expenses, financial accounting and audit procedures, and facility safety and management. Other policy topics scheduled for discussion include employee notifications and compensation, student work permits, mobile communication device usage, freedom of speech, health and emergency procedures, parent involvement, religious beliefs, physical education, and education for homeless and foster youth. Additionally, the agenda includes discussions on board bylaws, specifically regarding the disclosure of confidential information, remuneration, meeting conduct, and remote meeting participation, as well as general board engagement.

This document functions as a mid-year report on the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for Central Unified, outlining progress and establishing three-year goals through 2027. The plan is designed to prepare all students for college, career, and community readiness through rigorous instructional materials, targeted academic interventions, and comprehensive support for English Language Learners. Core priorities include ensuring equitable and engaging learning opportunities via academic and career counseling, social-emotional interventions, and highly trained teachers. Furthermore, the plan emphasizes fostering safe and inclusive schools by promoting a positive climate, enhancing school safety, and reducing suspension and expulsion rates, with an ongoing focus on data-driven improvement.
