Board Workshop - February 17, 2026

The Eskanito Union High School District (EUHSD) held a board workshop on February 17, 2026, focusing primarily on career technical education (CTE) program redesign and district budget discussions. The board reviewed options for aligning CTE pathways with California's updated career cluster framework, including a full school redesign into a flagship CTE academy, partial program realignment, and meeting state planning timelines. Discussions included scheduling models like 4x4 block scheduling, integration of academic and career content, dual enrollment with community colleges, and industry certifications. The board expressed interest in cost analyses for transitioning to new schedules and redesigns. The budget segment covered Proposition 98 funding, multi-year financial projections under AB1200, and the district's strong unrestricted fund balance. County Office of Education representatives explained fiscal oversight processes, certification statuses, and challenges with budget projections. The board discussed the impact of pandemic-related funding, cost-of-living adjustments, and the importance of maintaining financial stability while supporting staff compensation. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the conversation highlighted potential resource reallocations to support expanded CTE offerings and early college access.
