Celebrating National Filipino American Heritage Month
The Board recognized National Filipino American Heritage Month in Natomas Unified for the month of October 2025. Staff shared some of the activities planned for the month, including a read-along with Two Rivers Elementary Library Media Tech Robyn Calderon, a family literacy night with published children’s book author Sophia N. Lee, and details on the book of the month, Lolo’s Sari Sari Store, which has been provided to all libraries in the district. Some students from Two Rivers Elementary shared what they learned about the book in this video presented to the Board.
The Board also approved a resolution in honor of National Filipino American Heritage Month.
Resolution Approved for National School Psychology Week
The Board approved a resolution designating the week of November 3-7, 2025, as National School Psychology Week in the district. We are so grateful for our school psychologists and all the work that they do to support our students.
Update on Theory of Action for Student Success
The Board received a report and presentation on the district’s efforts related to Theory of Action for Student Success (Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 0100). Several areas were addressed, including demographic data on enrollment in academic programs, professional development, student voice, and parent involvement and engagement to ensure equity. One highlight of the report addresses the increase in the diversity of our staff. In 2023-24, NUSD had 52.1% staff from an ethnically diverse background. In 2025-26, that number has increased to 57.5%, a 5.4% increase. To review the entire report, click here.
Facilities Improvements
Approval of Newly Installed Basketball Courts at H. Allen Hight Elementary
As a part of the Board’s commitment to creating safe, engaging environments where students connect to school, the Board approved the completion of the installation of basketball courts at H. Allen Hight Elementary School. The new courts are a welcome addition for students to utilize during the school day.
Approval of Deferred Maintenance Plan
The Board approved the District’s Deferred Maintenance Plan, which includes projects from sites across the district that are in need of repairs or replacements. Examples include carpet replacement and other flooring, painting projects, roofing, and various equipment and HVAC upgrades, to name a few. The plan details the expected timeframe for projects. It is important to note that there are more projects called out in the plan than funding available, so NUSD will prioritize projects based on funding availability. The report can be reviewed here.
Approval of 2026 Facilities Master Plan Update
The Board also approved a contract with DLR Group for the 2026 Facilities Master Plan Update. DLR is the architect group that the Board approved during the May 10, 2023, Board meeting. They will update our Facilities Master Plan, which was last updated in 2024. This update will bring our master plan current with projects and changes from 2025 to 2026
