Charter Oak USD Board of Trustees Meeting - August 21st, 2025

The Charter Oak Unified School District Board of Trustees held a meeting on August 21, 2025, which included discussions on budget stabilization amid uncertain state and federal funding, with a projected need for $1.5 million in reductions next year and $1.2 million the following year. The board approved a resolution to increase developer fees, based on a study by Jack Shredder and Associates, to support district infrastructure and technology needs. The fee increase passed unanimously. Additionally, the board approved the third restated and amended Joint Powers Agreement with the St. Gabriel Valley Regional Occupational Program, continuing collaboration with regional educational partners. The meeting also included presentations on district enrollment data, particularly the district of choice program and TK/kindergarten enrollment, as well as public comments addressing concerns about special education services. No specific contract awards or RFPs were mentioned, but the developer fee increase and budget discussions indicate ongoing procurement and funding considerations for district capital and operational needs.
