Seacliff will provide the Board with a school update on current programs, activities, and schoolwide initiatives.

The Board will consider approval of the meeting schedule for the 2026 calendar year. In accordance with Board Bylaw 9320, the proposed calendar includes one regular Board meeting each month (with the exception of July), held at 6:00 pm as established at the annual organizational meeting. Study sessions and special meetings may be scheduled as needed throughout the year.

The Board will discuss and consider potential updates to Board Bylaw 9250 following recent changes in state law. Assembly Bill 1390, effective January 1, 2026, increases the maximum monthly stipend that school district governing boards may receive, with allowable amounts determined by each district’s prior-year average daily attendance. For HBCSD, the new maximum would be $1,200 per month.

Earlier this fall, the Board approved a 5% increase to its monthly stipend, from $278 to $292, and requested that this topic return for further discussion. The Board will consider possible adjustments to the stipend amount, as well as related updates to Board Bylaw 9250. Any fiscal impact will depend on the level of stipend change approved.

Staff will seek direction to amend Board Bylaw 9250 to reflect any Board action taken.

The Board will consider approval of the 2025–26 School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSA) for all eight HBCSD schools. Each SPSA outlines how school sites will use data, research-based strategies, and available resources to support improved student learning and academic growth.

As required by state and federal guidelines, each plan includes an analysis of student performance data; alignment of curriculum, instruction, and materials to state standards; professional development needs; supports for underperforming students; and the use of assessments to guide instruction. Based on this analysis, each school has developed its own student achievement goals aligned with the District’s Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).

Complete SPSA documents for all schools are available for public review on the District website and at individual school sites. Approval of these plans will allow sites to continue implementing their budgets within established guidelines.

The Board will consider approval of the tentative collective bargaining agreement between the Huntington Beach City School District (HBCSD) and the Huntington Beach Elementary Teachers Association (HBETA) for the 2025–26 school year. HBETA members have already ratified the agreement.

The tentative agreement maintains all existing contract articles, with updates to four sections:

The agreement includes a 2.0% salary increase effective July 1, 2025, with an ongoing fiscal impact of $657,986 for the 2025–26 year. The Board will review the full agreement and consider formal ratification.
