During the December 12, 2023 Irvine Unified School District Board of Education Meeting, the Board selected a new president and clerk, which are one-year terms. Cyril Yu was selected to serve as President and Paul Bokota was tapped to serve as Clerk. The Board and District staff thanked the previous Board President, Lauren Brooks, for her leadership and service to the IUSD Community.
In addition to being the final session of 2023, Tuesday marked the annual organizational meeting for the five-member board, which approved school site liaison assignments, determined Board Member committee participation, appointed representatives to various District committees and established meeting dates through December 2024. The next two regular Board Meetings are scheduled for January 23 and February 6, 2024.

Board Certification of First Interim Report
The Board also certified the first interim report of 2023-24 as “positive,” meaning the District is expected to meet its financial obligations for the current year and the subsequent two years. Every school district in California is required to examine and certify its financial condition as “positive,” “qualified” or “negative” twice during each fiscal year. Positive is the ideal certification, while qualified indicates a district may not be able to meet its financial obligations for the current year and the two subsequent years. A negative certification indicates that a district will not be able to meet its financial obligations over this period.
The Second Interim Report represents the District’s financial condition as of January 31 and is due to the Orange County Department of Education by March 15 annually.
