The documents
The resolutions, minutes, presentations, data and reporting behind this site, each with a plain-English summary. Board packets live on BoardBook; search by meeting date to find a presentation.
3 hour 18 minute recording of the full work session. Source for every verbatim quote and timestamp used on this site's meeting-recap page.
Board agenda for the work session at which the three closure/merger options were first presented.
Full slide deck introducing the three closure/merger options. Only about 7 of the 118 slides were presented live. It is the source of the 'seven buildings coded large enough for the MPS experience still close in all three options' finding and the deck's only savings figure — $560,000 to $705,000 a year in utilities, against a $39.7 million shortfall.
Study of every California school district found closing schools did not improve district budgets on average: districts lost students, and revenue fell about as much as spending.
Reports MPS lost about 500 students between the October 2025 count and March 2026 — a decline the Sept 15, 2026 board presentation did not mention, even though its impact tables are built on the October count.
Board resolution on transformation parameters. The district's posted PDF has a blank roll-call vote table, so the vote is not independently confirmed from this document alone.
Reports MPS built capacity at about 43,000 seats against roughly 29,900 total enrollment, and frames the political difficulty of closing schools.
Work session deck introducing the transformation-parameters framework ahead of the September closure/merger options.
Executive summary of the transformation process timeline. Internally misheaded 'Parameter #1: Enrollment Targets' even though its content is the schedule, not enrollment targets.
District operations chief is quoted estimating $50,000 to $80,000 a year to carry a vacant elementary building, and explains why the district's six empty buildings have not sold.
Continuation work session. The K-8 utilization table's FRL bands overlap at exactly 70% ('>=70%' and '<=70%' both include 70%).
Proposes utilization ranges (80-90% of 'operating capacity') and 10-year enrollment growth targets. Contains an arithmetic error on the growth-target slide (29,379 labeled '+1,865' when the source numbers give +1,875).
Five-year look back at the 2020 Comprehensive District Design; reports no CDD progress report has been issued since January 2023.
Official minutes recording the 7-1 adoption of Resolution 2025-0045 and the board's 2-6 rejection of a proposed 'sweet spot' definition. Present: Abdi, El-Amin, Cerrillo, Norvell, Callahan, Ellison, Emerick (remote), Beachy; Skjefte absent.
Informational item accompanying the Oct 14, 2025 meeting; reports Oct 1, 2025 enrollment as 28,740 K-12 / 30,284 all grades — one of several district enrollment counts that do not fully reconcile against each other or against news coverage.
Adopted 7-1. Directs the Superintendent to report by end of April 2026 on 13 topics, including a required cost/benefit analysis for any closures, consolidations or repurposing. The board rejected a proposed numeric 'sweet spot' definition (70-89% capacity) 2-6 the same night, so the term is never defined in district policy.
District budget presentation for FY25. Most page-level detail (pages 6-171) did not extract as searchable text, so most line items are not independently checkable from this file alone.
Continuation of the FY25 budget. The Early Childhood and Extended Learning funding tables contain internal arithmetic discrepancies of roughly $300,000 to $370,000 between line items and stated totals.
Filed as 'Draft' but headed 'OFFICIAL MINUTES.' Board business shortly before Resolution 2023-0072 (Dec 2023) launched the transformation process.
Includes the 'CDD Update: Key Budget Topics' presentation to the board, part of the district's post-redesign budget reporting.
Board business from the CDD era, including the Superintendent's Report cover. The printed heading date and the date referenced in the minutes body do not match.
District's draft five-year enrollment and financial projections. Not yet cross-checked line-by-line against other district enrollment counts on this site.
District facilities and enrollment report for Kenny. As printed, still describes a facilities condition assessment as pending for 'calendar year 2025' with no result posted, and enrollment/FRL data dated Oct 1, 2024.
State report card data (proficiency, attendance, demographics) for Kenny Elementary.
District 'Parameter Summary Guide' on program types (magnet, dual language, etc.) factored into the closure/merger options. Underlying data-point charts did not extract as text.
District 'Parameter Summary Guide' defining minimum program size for what the district calls a holistic education. Underlying data-point charts did not extract as text.
District 'Parameter Summary Guide' defining the enrollment-target parameter used to justify building closures and mergers. The guide's underlying data-point charts and tables are images and do not extract as searchable text.
