VIDEO. From the Cabrillo Unified School District (CUSD) meeting on Thursday, August 11th, 2022 at 7:00pm by Zoom.
Cabrillo Unified School District’s Governing Board will receive a report on the District’s robust social emotional learning initiatives and mental health supports for students, staff, and families. In line with our MTSS framework, our comprehensive mental health program for schools provides an array of supports and services to promote positive school climate, social emotional learning, mental health, and well-being to reduce the prevalence and severity of mental illness in our school community. The focus of this report is to not only inform about the different supports and services but to also highlight how to access those resources and the timing of communication of when programs are implemented or presented throughout the school year.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Support for the District’s social emotional learning and mental health programing come from the general fund, Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), a grant from the Mental Health Student Services Act of 2019 (MHSSA), and State Mental Health Grant.

The Cabrillo Unified School District is located just south of San Francisco on the beautiful Pacific Coast. The District was established on July 1, 1965 and encompasses an area of approximately 135 square miles. The District currently operates four elementary schools, one intermediate school, one high school, a continuation school, and an adult education program.
The mission of the Cabrillo Unified School District – an exemplary learning community committed to valuing our distinct cultural identities – is to develop critical thinkers and socially responsible citizens who actively participate in their individual learning and development and are fully prepared to embrace their next challenge. We accomplish this by utilizing our unique natural resources and engaging the entire Coastside community and its partners in providing a rich and academically rigorous curriculum in a safe and nurturing environment.
Board Members
The Cabrillo Unified School District School Governing Board is comprised of five school board members who are elected by the local community. The role of the school board is to provide leadership and oversight of the district. The Board ensures that the district is responsive to the values, beliefs, and priorities of the community.
The term of office for school board members elected in regular elections is four years, beginning on the second Friday in December after their election. The board meets at least once a month at the District Office, 498 Kelly Avenue, Half Moon Bay. Meetings are open to the public and are usually held on Thursday nights at 6 pm. A portion of the board meeting consists of a “closed” session for the purpose of discussing confidential matters, such as personnel or student issues.
