Most motions passed unanimously by voice or hand vote.

Why it matters: The approvals allow the district to formalize early‑literacy screening tools for K–2, begin multi‑year induction support for new teachers, pilot school‑based mobile medical and teletherapy services, adjust facilities financing to accelerate planned projects, and authorize the initial steps needed to issue Measure J bonds. Taken together, these actions move instructional, health and facilities plans into implementation.

Key votes and outcomes (selected):

- Adoption of a K–2 literacy screener (MCLASS/DIBELS MClass / MClass Lectura): Approved unanimously as the district’s literacy screener to meet state requirements for K–2. (Item K‑1)

- Approval of a memorandum of understanding with the Center for Teacher Innovation (CTI): Approved unanimously. The CTI MOU will enroll an estimated 52 teachers in a state‑accredited induction program (approx. $2,100 per teacher; three‑year MOU covering July 1, 2025–June 30, 2028). (Item K‑2)

- Approval of a MOU with Community Health Systems for mobile medical and dental vans: Approved unanimously. The mobile services will be scheduled in coordination with district clinics and will bill Medi‑Cal or commercial plans where applicable; scheduling will be handled through the district’s operations office. (Item K‑3)

- Approval of a Daybreak Medical MOU for teletherapy services: Approved unanimously to pilot teletherapy referrals intended to shorten referral turnaround compared with the district’s existing provider. (Item K‑4)

- Resolution uncommitting $12.5 million previously assigned to COP debt repayment and re‑committing funds to facilities projects (IML‑1): Approved unanimously. The board voted to reallocate previously committed funds to accelerate facilities work; staff said the existing $500,000 annual general‑fund contribution designated for debt repayment will continue to support facilities. (Item IML‑1)

- CFD administrative services: The board approved contracting Key Analytics/California Financial Services for expanded administrative services for the district’s community facilities districts; the district estimated the contract would increase CFD administrative costs by about $12,000 per year but those costs will be paid from CFD funds, not the general fund. (Item L‑2)

- Contracts and routine items: The board approved several routine purchasing and contracting items on the consent agenda (public address/intercom/bell systems bids for multiple sites; cafeteria tables and related work at Canyon Hills Elementary; ratification of consultant contracts for independent educational evaluations; student expulsions and financial transactions). (Consent agenda)

- Resolution to proceed with bond issuance for Measure J series A: Approved unanimously. The board adopted the resolution and related documents to authorize issuance steps for the Measure J bond sale (series A); staff said a ratings call took place and the district expects a ratings decision by April 14 and described the good‑faith estimate of estimated interest costs. (Item N‑1)

Most votes were unanimous by voice or hand raise. Where the transcript did not record a roll‑call tally by member name, minutes indicate the motion passed unanimously and staff recorded no opposing votes. Where appropriate, staff said they will return with implementation details, bids, or further contract terms for board ratification.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Snowline JUSD Board Meeting 4.8.2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved the agenda and a package of consent and action items including a literacy screener adoption, multiple MOUs for teacher induction and student health services, facility project funding changes and a resolution advancing Measure J bond issuance.","taxTitle","Snowline Joint Unified, School Districts, California","taxId",38727,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6082747,"Board hears first read on Synergistics energy partnership; consultant cites early HVAC runtime reductions",371,6061000,6432000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2936243-dae02338602c1fdbd370debc5bf982c9&start=6061&end=6432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2936243-dae02338602c1fdbd370debc5bf982c9/thumbnail_6061000.jpg","/articles/6082747/California/Board-hears-first-read-on-Synergistics-energy-partnership-consultant-cites-early-HVAC-runtime-reductions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082747-74b9d2a359257f401508b5485a13d645/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164841&Signature=oUThtbYC4gQawCJSVc5E1vzBMQPv~0CGye606eCAa1YbBmQsIXc6rcb7PYvqLTSDPGo5gZm1VIScK7EysRDfvqqyfuZU9iZC--tdKBrMTmm5v4ZwSibdu-HYJON~j7FleZwX0G3W2YBuysg8C8tKVCWNvvIsCpVbFyZ5sapJbTRz50ALZUXQf2fo4mVBI3-mXs2jIvB132fh4Ikz63GsT~P8rC3pXx7JMcxccx2Q8f5rG2vmRtsGTWY~MEpHJWUhjUIBPETV-GIpQLRsrWzt-f44xslOQHA5W0grX16efopyn7mjR1PNiJMUCE-aTzcqCFjFrEsOPENy-jL2SwjimA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Snowline Joint Unified School District received a first reading of an administrative regulation describing an energy‑efficiency partnership with Synergistics, a consultant the district engaged to identify operational savings in district facilities. The item was presented as information only; board members invited Synergistics representatives to return with detailed data for a later approval vote.

Why it matters: The partnership aims to reduce energy costs and operating hours for HVAC and other systems without degrading occupied instructional environments; early operational changes, if sustained, could lower facilities costs and reduce utility spending.

Lynn Pace, senior vice president with Synergistics, told the board the firm has begun implementation work in district buildings and said, “we are already seeing some results” — including what he described as approximately “1,400 HVAC run hours per day” reduced during unoccupied or sparsely occupied periods. Pace emphasized the firm’s focus on managing unoccupied‑period energy use and said improvements are designed so “energy conservation sustainability will not come at the expense of the integrity of your learning environment.”

District staff said the presentation was tied to a previously approved partnership and that staff will return with specific performance numbers. Bill Flynn, the district’s business official, and facilities staff said Synergistics is already working with the district’s facilities team on implementation and troubleshooting. The item was an information first read; board members did not vote on contract approval at this meeting.","Snowline officials held an informational first read on an administrative regulation tied to a new partnership with Synergistics to increase energy efficiency; the consultant said early results show reduced HVAC runtime during low‑occupancy periods.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6082751,"Snowline board hears English-learner progress, professional-development highlights and DLAC priorities",1068,7431000,8499000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2936243-dae02338602c1fdbd370debc5bf982c9&start=7431&end=8499","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2936243-dae02338602c1fdbd370debc5bf982c9/thumbnail_7431000.jpg","/articles/6082751/California/Snowline-board-hears-English-learner-progress-professional-development-highlights-and-DLAC-priorities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6082751-6ff50a4ee2187c38cd4542be38da6681/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164841&Signature=no8LIE6mIZGRGILGOzVMMM1G5rEwFwDV70DFvrjCcNHf3fonq20H-mJ2Ie20iLo-zJGVBcRIKpw8lZA06wuvtFBrVJ3EIqeIArUlePT4LwfLspgPupZxCC2otbHdx~x4PvzwCSiEoSN5c1VEgJs7qHkzhXjXKpn8rGVaH81CKV0dzDRwTQTIrLQ4157CJTA8BJJEn3vXI8sXd-qgF37ByfNRKsv-~cXvCEFG3AsD3QQcSxzR1k0ZMX8U9xAU1ArAqQjibpIg~pO~mesRZwux7NspkzyNSF-MHiNY5-~CZbWKI2VkDXC7t7RqUkmr1dwltSjr9Hxztjm8ve1ZzfW2Dw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Charlotte Eckenroth, district English‑learner coordinator, told the Snowline Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees that the district’s English learners “outperform the state average” and that the district has shown a rising trend since 2021. The presentation, delivered at the board’s regular meeting, combined assessment data, professional development updates and parent‑leader testimony from the district’s District English Learner Advisory Committee (DLAC).

Why it matters: English learners make up a substantial share of Snowline’s enrollment, and the district is focusing instructional time and training dollars on early assessment, designated ELD and teacher coaching to sustain gains. DLAC members also urged the district to continue communicating with families in Spanish and to maintain practices that protect students from immigration‑status‑related fear in schools.

Eckenroth said the district began using ELPAC interim assessments (IABs) this year as formative tools and is starting a multi‑year deep dive into student writing on ELPAC. She described local work to align designated ELD supports and test settings so English learners have appropriate help during state tests such as CAASPP and CAST. “Tonight isn’t about doing a deep dive with data,” she said, “Tonight is about bringing to life, the why.”

Phelan Elementary staff who attended the national CABAE conference and a SEAL school visit said the training emphasized language‑rich, culturally relevant instruction. Elsa Valenzuela, a second‑grade teacher at Phelan, said the conference reinforced “the foundational belief that language is the origin of thoughts and ideas” and helped teachers respond to changing student demographics. Georgia Moore, Phelan’s EL coach, described SEAL as a blended instructional model that emphasizes joyful learning with a language focus.

DLAC co‑secretary Jasmine de la Barra told the board the parent advisory body meets monthly, converts community input into votes and carries out local actions. She said DLAC recently voted not to hold a public Cinco de Mayo event in 2025 “due to political disturbance” and instead will host on‑site literacy celebrations and a scholarship raffle for EL and reclassified EL seniors.

Public comment on immigration climate: Sylvia Lopez, speaking as a DLAC support person, told the board families are experiencing fear about immigration enforcement and deportation and urged the district to keep families informed in English and Spanish. “We come before you tonight representing the voices of the families of … English learners,” Lopez said, adding reports of increased intimidation and bullying at school. Lopez urged the district to “please actively partner with us to ensure our children feel safe, loved and respected.”

District staff and board members praised the combination of student outcomes, teacher training and parent leadership. Tony Buckley, Phelan Elementary principal, said the SEAL site visits and national conferences reinforced existing district literacy work and that the model appears promising for both English learners and native English speakers. Board members and staff also noted pipelines from DLAC to district employment — several parents and paraprofessionals present have moved into bilingual associate and classroom roles.

The board did not take formal action on instructional programming at this meeting. Staff said they will continue implementing ELPAC IABs, expand analysis of student writing over coming years and pursue funding and site partnerships to support SEAL‑style professional development and possible future dual‑language programming.","District staff told the board Snowline English learners outperformed state averages in 2024, described new assessment and professional-development work, and DLAC leaders urged continued communication and protections for immigrant families.","actionData","errors"]
