Analysis : Hacienda La Puente Adult Education (HLPAE) offers high-quality Health Careers training programs designed to prepare students for certification and employment in high-demand healthcare occupations. As part of its ongoing commitment to program excellence and alignment with industry standards, HLPAE engages Occupational Advisory Committees (OACs) composed of local healthcare professionals who evaluate curriculum and recommend enhancements. In alignment with the most recent OAC recommendations, HLPAE administration and faculty propose the adoption of the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) curriculum for both the Medical Biller and Coder and Medical Assistant programs. The NHA is a nationally recognized credentialing organization that offers instructional materials aligned with current healthcare industry competencies and certification requirements. The adoption of the NHA curriculum will enhance instructional quality, better prepare students for certification exams—including the Certified Billing and Coding Specialist and Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA)—and ensure graduates meet the skill expectations of healthcare employers. Providing students with access to industry-standard curriculum supports the District’s mission to equip adult learners with the skills and knowledge necessary for long-term career success. This curriculum also facilitates program consistency, promotes instructional rigor, and meets compliance expectations for accreditation and state accountability.

Consent Items Subject 5.05.c - Contracts and Agreements - Approve new agreement between Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Paradise Construction and Contract Management, Inc., for removal and demolition of six modular buildings at Orange Grove Middle School, for an amount not to exceed $74,800. (Ms. Risco) Meeting Mar 26, 2026 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation : Approve new agreement between Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Paradise Construction and Contract Management, Inc., for removal and demolition of six modular buildings at Orange Grove Middle School, for an amount not to exceed $74,800. Analysis : The District is seeking approval to enter into an agreement with Paradise Construction and Contract Management, Inc., for the removal and demolition of six aging modular buildings that have been deemed unsafe for student and staff use at Orange Grove Middle School. All six modular buildings are more than 50 years old and are showing significant signs of deterioration, particularly with respect to roofing conditions. Due to their age and deteriorated condition, the modular buildings would require significant and costly renovations to remain in service. In coordination with the site principal, the removal will be scheduled during spring break to minimize disruption to campus operations. Two modular buildings are currently being utilized as instructional spaces. Facilities staff will assist in moving the teachers’ belongings to their new classrooms. The remaining four modular buildings are currently only used for miscellaneous storage. As the school currently has sufficient permanent classroom capacity to accommodate its educational programs without the use of these modular buildings , their removal represents the most practical and cost-effective course of action moving forward. The removal of these outdated modular facilities will improve the overall condition and functionality of the Orange Grove Middle School campus, reduce ongoing maintenance and liability concerns, and allow the District to manage its facilities more efficiently. The project represents a cost-effective solution that aligns campus infrastructure with current enrollment capacity and operational needs while maintaining a safe and well-maintained learning environment for students and staff.

Administrative Items Subject 7.02.b - Board of Education - Increase monthly compensation for regular Board Members pursuant to Assembly Bill 1390 to the new statutory limit, as outlined in Education Code, Section 35120, for an amount of $2,000 per month. (Mr. Roach) Meeting Mar 26, 2026 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Information Recommendation : Increase monthly compensation for regular Board Members pursuant to Assembly Bill 1390 to the new statutory limit, as outlined in Education Code, Section 35120, for an amount of $2,000 per month. Analysis : The limits for compensation for members of school district governing boards have not been adjusted since 1984. In 2001, Assembly Bill 214 authorized boards to increase their compensation by up to 5 percent annually, but did not increase the statutory limits. According to Board Bylaw 9250, “Each member of the Governing Board may receive the monthly compensation as provided for in law.” Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1390, effective January 1, 2026, amended Education Code, Section 35120, was amended to increase the maximum authorized monthly compensation allowable by law for members of school district governing boards, based upon the District's average daily attendance ("ADA") for the prior school year. For the 2024-2025 school year, the District had an Average Daily Attendance (ADA) of 14,643. In school districts where the ADA for the prior school year was between 10,001 - 25,000 each regular member of a governing board who attends all meetings held may receive a monthly sum of $2,000, as compensation for the board member's services. If a member does not attend all Board meetings during the month, he/she is eligible to receive a percentage of the monthly compensation equal to the percentage of meetings attended unless otherwise authorized by the Board in accordance with law.

Analysis : April was first declared Child Abuse Prevention Month by Presidential Proclamation in 1983. Since then, April has been a time to acknowledge the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse. In recognition of the collaboration needed to help prevent child abuse and neglect, the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District does hereby urge all citizens and schools to observe the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

(Ms. Risco) Meeting Mar 26, 2026 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation : Approve Resolution No. 2025/26-33 of the Board of Education of the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District Opposing Data Center Development That May Adversely Affect Students, School Facilities, and Community Resources. Analysis : Data center development near the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District may adversely affect the health, safety, and educational environment of District students, staff, and school sites. These facilities demand substantial quantities of water and electricity, placing additional strain on regional groundwater basins, potable water systems, and electrical infrastructure that District schools rely upon daily for safe and stable operations. Collectively, these impacts may influence the learning environment, the reliability of essential resources, and the long‑term sustainability of school sites, students, staff, and the broader communities served by the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District, including the cities and unincorporated areas within and beyond the District’s boundaries. The Hacienda La Puente Unified School District recognizes the importance of adopting a resolution opposing new data center development. As these facilities have expanded rapidly across California, they have brought increased demands on local resources and infrastructure. In light of these trends, the District believes it is important to advocate for the protection of student health, the preservation of our school environments, and the long‑term sustainability of the public resources that support Hacienda La Puente Unified School District. Upon approval by the Board of Education, the District will distribute the adopted resolution to all Hacienda La Puente Unified School District school sites communicating its contents to families, staff, and community members. This outreach will ensure that the entire HLPUSD community is informed of the Board’s resolution opposing data center development and understands the District’s commitment to protecting student health, safeguarding school‑site environments, and preserving essential public resources.
