The Alisal Union School District Board meeting held on June 25, 2025, focused on several key topics, including the introduction of new personnel, support for immigrant families, and various financial resolutions.

The meeting commenced with Missus Ansell welcoming Dr. Clara Fernandez, the new deputy, who will officially join the district on July 1. Ansell highlighted the district's ongoing efforts to support immigrant families, particularly in ensuring their safety and access to mental health resources. She reported on a recent interview with KSPW, where she discussed initiatives such as "Know Your Rights" presentations for families and training for staff on how to respond to potential ICE interactions at schools. This training included distributing informational materials to families, emphasizing that all children are entitled to a free education regardless of their immigration status.

Following the introductions, the board moved to the consent agenda, which included contracts, agreements, and proposals. The agenda was approved unanimously, with a vote of 4-0, as Trustee Jimenez was absent.

The board then addressed several action items related to business services. These included resolutions for interfund group borrowing, year-end budget transfers, and the adoption of the proposed budget for the 2025-2026 school year. Each resolution passed with a unanimous vote of 4-0.

Additionally, the board approved a resolution supporting applications for eligibility determination and funding for facilities projects, as well as a resolution concerning the education protection account, both passing with the same unanimous vote.

The meeting concluded with the adoption of the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for the 2024-2027 period, which was also approved unanimously.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to supporting its diverse community while ensuring sound financial management and planning for the future. The board's next steps will involve implementing the approved budgets and continuing to enhance support for immigrant families.
