The Coronado Unified School Board meeting on June 5, 2025, highlighted several key events and initiatives within the district, focusing on student achievements and community collaboration.

Trustee Youngblood opened the discussion by reflecting on recent school events, including the spirited Powder Puff football game and the academic awards ceremony at Coronado High School (CHS). He emphasized the importance of recognizing student efforts in academics, which he described as the district's primary mission.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the collaboration between the school board and city council members. Trustee Youngblood reported on a recent "2 by 2" meeting where they discussed various community issues, including e-bike safety and traffic concerns around schools. The city plans to implement a course for students on e-bike safety, which will include a certification sticker for those who complete it. This initiative aims to improve riding habits among students and enhance overall traffic safety.

Trustee comments also celebrated student creativity and accomplishments. The unveiling of a new mural, funded by a community member's endowment, was highlighted as a significant artistic achievement for the school. The mural, created by students, symbolizes resilience and creativity, with its Latin inscription meaning "through hardships to the stars."

Superintendent Leha echoed the sentiments of the trustees, praising the students' innovative projects showcased during the capstone presentations. He noted that students had developed various prototypes, including a system for composting and a unique bed designed to wake users up by shaking.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the importance of reflecting on the school year as it comes to a close. Superintendent Leha encouraged staff, parents, and students to appreciate the connections made throughout the year, particularly in the arts and extracurricular activities, which play a vital role in student engagement and success.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to fostering student achievement, community collaboration, and the importance of creative expression in education.
