Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

VIDEO. From the Cabrillo Unified School District (CUSD) Trustees’ meeting on Thursday, April 13th, 2023 at 6:00pm, in person only.

Board President, Sophia Layne, introduces the agenda item:

Update on District Demographics, Anticipated Enrollment Declines in CUSD Schools, and Recommendations for Elementary School Boundary Changes to Balance District Enrollment.

To ensure Cabrillo Unified School District’s elementary schools have balanced enrollment to operate efficiently, CUSD engaged demographer Tom Williams to review demographic trends, update enrollment projections, and explore elementary school boundary changes.

Tonight the Board will hear an updated presentation on our community demographics, school enrollment trends, and some proposed recommendations for revised elementary school boundaries to ensure balanced enrollment and more efficient school operations ahead.

 

FISCAL ANALYSIS Right sizing of school enrollments through adopting recommended boundary changes can help the District and its schools operate more efficiently and effectively, but it would be difficult to exactly quantify resulting savings.

 

RECOMMENDATION Staff request the Board review revised demographic projections and vote on recommended boundary changes.

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.
