LBUSD Board of Education holds its annual organizational meeting

The LBUSD Board of Education held its annual organizational meeting on Monday evening to elect officers and approve meeting dates for the 2025 calendar year. The board elected its slate of officers as follows:

• Dee Perry, President
• Howard Hills, Clerk

Two seats on the Laguna Beach Unified School District Board of Education were up for election in 2024. Incumbent Jan Vickers ran alongside Howard Hills, Sheri Morgan, Margaret Warder, and Lauren Boeck, while incumbent Kelly Osborne did not seek another term. Howard Hills and Sheri Morgan were elected to the Board and took their ceremonial oath of office Monday night.

The Board of Education holds its regular meetings on Thursdays, starting at 6 p.m. However, the weekday and start times may be adjusted and, if so, will be reflected on the posted Board Meeting Calendar and the agenda for the meeting. Meetings will be held at Thurston Middle School Library on 2100 Park Avenue in Laguna Beach, California.

Board approves positive certification of First Interim Report

Local educational agencies are required to file two reports during a fiscal year (interim reports) on the status of the educational agency's financial health. The interim reports must include a certification of whether or not the agency will be able to meet its financial obligations; the certifications are classified as positive, qualified, or negative. A positive certification is assigned when the district will meet its financial obligations for the current and two subsequent fiscal years. At the December 17 meeting, the board took action to approve a positive certification of the First Interim Report for 2024-2025.
