Hiring and Sustaining a Quality

Workforce

Challenges and Opportunities

Maintaining and improving District facilities

$9 billion School Facilities Bond on

California’s November 2016 ballot

Clovis Unified is already eligible for $80 million

in matching funds should the state bond pass

Governor Brown opposes a state school facility

bond measure

Challenges and Opportunities

Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)

When fully funded, only returns us to the level

of funding we had in 2008

Doesn’t account for multiple new costs (e.g.

employer costs for state retirement system,

health benefits, minimum wage hike, etc.)

Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP)

State has not yet adopted final regulations

Schools vulnerable to lawsuits and challenges29

Challenges and Opportunities

District growth

2015-16 school year: 41,883 students enrolled

2015 Student Attendance Boundary changes

Preserving our core values

A fair break for every kid

It’s people, not programs that make the positive

difference

Mutual respect

Be the best you can be in Mind, Body and Spirit30

The CLOVIS Way!

Our core values are non-negotiable.

We are striving to be America’s

benchmark for excellence in education.
