The superintendent will appoint a calendar committee to draft a minimum of two school year calendars for the community to vote and/or provide feedback.

Offering competitive salaries, stipends and benefits for its employees, Jones shared the 2024-25 Salary Schedule updates. Several job titles were added such as a Graduation Specialist.

    As reported by Jesse Bustamante, Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) was released November 2023 requesting proposals for the stadium site work. A $594, 337 contract with Sanchez Driveways was finalized for site work and landscaping services.
