Sean Webb, Read With Me director, said the program supplies volunteers who work one‑on‑one and in small groups and provides books for students to take home. He reported cumulative program numbers and recent awards: “To date, our partnership from 2004 to 02/2024 … 3,000 unique volunteers … over 90,000 hours provided … over a million dollars spent in books,” and said the program had 253 volunteers in classrooms in the most recent year.

Webb and regional coordinators proposed deeper partnerships with the district’s expanded learning programs and suggested district staff consider Literacy Field Days and other community engagement events. A board member noted Read With Me’s reported outcomes: Webb said the program’s internal comparisons show students working with volunteers “their scores go up at least 66% or better,” and trustees thanked the group for its service and for bilingual book distributions.

Read With Me representatives said regional coordinators work with site staff to recruit volunteers and coordinate logistics; the nonprofit asked the board to consider formal partnerships for expanded learning and community events in the coming year. Materials sample bags were made available at trustee seats for classroom visits.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","CVUSD Board Meeting 06/26/2025","oneSentenceSummary","A presentation by Read With Me highlighted volunteer tutoring, book distributions and local partnerships; presenters told the board the program reports strong outcomes and offered to expand collaborations with district programs.","taxTitle","Coachella Valley Unified, School Districts, California","taxId",14551,"location","California","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6183590,"Board approves 2025‑26 LCAP; community groups praise preservation of restorative‑justice funding",3976,1136000,5112000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5096590-c326b3198102eb70d7b71873cd42760b&start=1136&end=5112","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5096590-c326b3198102eb70d7b71873cd42760b/thumbnail_1136000.jpg","/articles/6183590/California/Board-approves-202526-LCAP-community-groups-praise-preservation-of-restorativejustice-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183590-74d992195c2b5826aeeebd7c9c6e808f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770393432&Signature=QozCjqnZJnEcIemQVyk~ylg-xmTGxKlBn9FJJ-RYpGHjo36fKuqKzqzqMXr4ZNqpCD~sfhmbQfgjxh2Tu7~xAC2qm8Wk5Jp8iXW2yPe-qdUdbmpuXPUvc-zh4tjamO1oi8vGuSEH-yvYXHVu7kzyf--OgrEtPcUw9J3mGhNe-iHu1TIQdvajHbX2yG6qtoX7552SOU5chjHX1SR6r6ifuAh~wrrkLT2SoxkLIC8qnveh7Xbx-Sxcpyy9b~~ZsNtS7ZhbdZQ8SSXqhWRxykmwd8bnZh9~hQw8EOyvmSRbov3cx3-PQCVd5XGWJnMvfv2eN7pDVduweqPd1MXgv6S41Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Coachella Valley Unified School District Board of Education approved the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for 2025‑26 and the related federal addendum at its June 26 meeting.

Bridal Ulloa of Alianza Coachella Valley addressed the board during public comment to thank trustees for preserving funding for restorative justice (RJ) implementation and training. ‘‘The district's continued investment in this work reflects a strong commitment to creating supportive, inclusive school environments for all students,’’ she said, and described specific practices she said were integrated this year: ‘‘daily SEL lessons for elementary schools that are culturally competent and bilingual, weekly SEL lessons for middle and high school students, and, my favorite, the monthly principal meetings to support the tier 3 youth with regular check ins.’’

On the action calendar the board moved, seconded and adopted the LCAP and the federal addendum; the vote was recorded as in favor. Board members and public speakers framed the LCAP as the district’s principal accountability document for what the district is doing and not doing for students; several trustees praised improvements in the collaboration and communication that shaped this year’s plan.

The district will proceed to implement the LCAP goals for 2025‑26, including supports for social‑emotional learning and restorative approaches, and will report program performance as required by state law and local procedures.","The board approved the district Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for 2025‑26 and the federal addendum; community advocates thanked the district for maintaining funding for restorative justice practices and social‑emotional learning.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6183595,"Classified union warns layoffs will disrupt libraries, transportation and student services",2080,232000,2312000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5096590-c326b3198102eb70d7b71873cd42760b&start=232&end=2312","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5096590-c326b3198102eb70d7b71873cd42760b/thumbnail_232000.jpg","/articles/6183595/California/Classified-union-warns-layoffs-will-disrupt-libraries-transportation-and-student-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183595-5d3643bf698eea0de280a8c02319e465/orig.mp4?Expires=1770393432&Signature=kCdN6kuwb1I6cs~SalWUUHe7BhPNxbQI0PoM3lUcxVfSCqexx8WpCwhRJB-cw9V82HlezHPZjDSUN6mnerZCML06sLDSyqSgpC~cwWCwtH6wfSs6Q~yNSuohDF7lX24MTsEtYJ0T5ALs5piblV7F6egat0vRJ1K3I4kIApVV80zHN3n9B9x~2WTczk1FMOtiwRv7QnmV-prabZ-iuC7gjcsOO0tOPu58jRZu2ZOUm5I6yjdwuO7oZl7CVKNt383hKu06YSsVuybpiCSQGIwuLl90nIAf2W4kdVA8Q0rXg6Jk7Om8nMzhH8jlwSBUU91Db1fDo-sVMLcnGGyMA1jasQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Union and staff speakers at the June 26 Coachella Valley Unified School District board meeting warned that ongoing layoffs and staffing decisions will disrupt core student services.

Veronica Duenas, a representative of CSEA (Classified School Employees Association), told the board that members face layoffs effective June 30 and asked trustees to “please take into consideration the feelings of my people” who will move into new roles starting July 1. Duenas raised concerns about internal appointments and interim pay, asking, “how did that happen when that person did not apply for the position?” She also said a PERB case is pending and urged the district to negotiate: “Please, let's start thinking differently for this new school year.”

Library staff and curriculum workers raised related operational concerns. Billy Fran Franco, speaking for IMAs, warned that summer departures mean students and teachers may lack materials when school starts: “As of right now, no student is going to have their materials, no teacher is going to have their materials. Our students will not be able to get their full education,” he said, and recommended filing a Williams complaint if students lack required materials by Sept. 1. Franco added that IMAs are the only classification authorized to distribute certain curriculum materials.

Duenas also questioned the district’s use of outside contracts for services she said could be done in‑house, noting a listed line item for audiometric and vision screening at about $49,746 and asking why those services could not be provided by existing classified LVNs and health‑service technicians. She told the board the district had laid off “about 252 classified people,” a figure she cited during public comment.

Other speakers pressed the district to fully implement a new transportation ID/swipe system that had been purchased but not used as a summer pilot; Duenas said the system increases accountability when students get off buses. Members of the public and trustees urged the district to plan for continuity of operations, ensure training for staff who will assume new responsibilities, and to use negotiated processes where required.

No formal board action followed from the public comment beyond acknowledgement; union representatives said they will pursue negotiations and legal remedies where appropriate.","Representatives of the classified union and school staff told the board June 26 that recent layoffs and staffing decisions risk disrupting distribution of student devices, library operations, transportation accountability and on‑site student health services.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6183599,"CVUSD projects multi‑year shortfalls; board adopts reserve classifications and encumbrance resolution",429,5328000,5757000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5096590-c326b3198102eb70d7b71873cd42760b&start=5328&end=5757","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5096590-c326b3198102eb70d7b71873cd42760b/thumbnail_5328000.jpg","/articles/6183599/California/CVUSD-projects-multiyear-shortfalls-board-adopts-reserve-classifications-and-encumbrance-resolution","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183599-9db9bc1911ca2264f624d0e08c0f5dff/orig.mp4?Expires=1770393432&Signature=kNWpJWFNWyJPR7whApga-~KQBoi~4Kwa4VB5Bz4f5y4qGEhJjUYFEUiFrKyuaC78VBh90OXPUZoWTOZov3fCoAdbJsEnUNXDAbaP4tbsePieBZumpeI3ayHdraLw8zderTAxZENUAHorqZX8bsX4snhI4lEJZWfHsgz-sg2Aw2nzgN3yC9Krrn7TQ0TIGbkmmkqZjidvtOK385rDPJL59kcXcuI7KGL-76J-yn6IUiH-QaO8dJHIQCCP-u-zb7V2maQz6xFmCf~xaTifLR-L6Y7t8e5i8-4DbMZ4Bp8mDQVrJBRTbedHXCLy9rmZjGGpIWIEaOZLXK4YeJMmLyotMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Coachella Valley Unified School District Board of Education received a presentation June 26 showing multi‑year fiscal projections that, if unaltered, would reduce the district’s combined ending balance from an estimated $119 million in 2024‑25 to about $41 million by 2027‑28.

Daniella Tavares, presenting the district’s multi‑year projection (NYP), said the district is estimating deficit spending across the next three fiscal years and outlined the operational scale: “One month of just salaries and benefits, not even our liabilities or other expenditures, is $24,000,000,” she said, adding that “one month expenditures for the district runs between $35,000,000 and $38,000,000 a month.” Tavares told the board the district projects it will need to identify roughly $9.3 million in reductions by 2027‑28 to meet the required 3% reserve on unrestricted funds if revenues and assumptions do not improve.

Board members pressed for realism in assumptions. Trustee Thomas Tortoise said he had warned two years earlier about running down reserves and stressed the need to be proactive: “I knew this was gonna happen 2 years ago,” he told colleagues, urging continued fiscal vigilance. Other trustees and staff discussed the risk that declines in attendance (ADA), federal program changes and legislative actions could reduce revenues and require programmatic cuts or further staffing changes.

The board approved two fiscal actions on the consent/action calendar: Resolution 2025‑68 to encumber funds for fiscal year 2025‑26 and Resolution 2025‑67 classifying components of the ending fund balance. Staff noted the presentation used state‑level budget guidance and School Services assumptions for cost‑of‑living and revenue estimates. Members asked staff to provide the NYP spreadsheets to trustees and to continue monitoring enrollment, ADA and state revenue developments.

Trustees repeatedly returned to the practical implications of the projections: with declining combined balances, the district’s ability to sustain payroll and programs without cuts will narrow over the coming years. Staff said they would return with follow‑up analyses and that the multi‑year projection is intended to inform decisions this summer and in the coming budget cycle.","At the June 26 meeting the district presented multi‑year projections showing reserves declining from $119 million in 2024‑25 to $41 million by 2027‑28; the board adopted resolutions to classify ending fund balances and encumber funds for 2025‑26 and received the district's multi‑year projection (NYP).",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6183604,"CVUSD board terminates certificated employee following ALJ decision",40,732000,772000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5096590-c326b3198102eb70d7b71873cd42760b&start=732&end=772","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5096590-c326b3198102eb70d7b71873cd42760b/thumbnail_732000.jpg","/articles/6183604/California/CVUSD-board-terminates-certificated-employee-following-ALJ-decision","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183604-7472b2ec942cf3de0c1c5c85cd7c4c2b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770393432&Signature=dWhz6cCxsMUCV2A-qstGheFa~uDSeBMexPkc8YX~JP7x~bfdztpIFNfYGBwzO1fijbOZe9KiBjWYXbJm407dkSMvymGCqZlGh~9FmrjH5DCSpRh~SBfDIi7TNft19Zox3wifo546Gw7T5Utmc~tJmI4FSQv~B~eGg~pLSoPW3wIU1dV6waQRQ4nkarm7h-jm500QOIYlyZz~hKghv47JKKnsmOcnIuy9hGZ2fSF~raSTE4lwsJXQtrcuj4Bf0sViU97aJbRsW7moc4Wlcvll7mBctNDW6rvkcrNHPlZLDBMgOZe3GBQjsYE9hl3uNOtwAvnaFNKovlZ55eODsohSZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Coachella Valley Unified School District Board of Education announced June 26 that it terminated the employment of a certificated employee following an administrative law judge decision.

She told the board the superintendent or designee was directed to send appropriate legal notices.

The board made the announcement after returning from closed session and reported the roll‑call tally as five ayes, zero noes and zero abstentions. The item was presented as an implementation of the administrative law judge’s OAH decision; the announcement named the OAH case number but did not provide further factual background about the personnel matter in open session.

The board recorded no additional public deliberation on the termination in open session. The district said staff were directed to complete statutory and legal notifications as required by the earlier administrative law judge decision.

The board’s announcement provides the formal outcome and next procedural steps; the district did not release further details about the underlying charges or the ALJ’s written ruling during the meeting.","At its June 26 meeting, the Coachella Valley Unified School District Board of Education announced in closed session that it terminated a certificated employee per an administrative law judge decision and directed the superintendent to issue legal notices.","actionData","errors"]
