Ballico Families: School Board Meetings, District Contacts and 2026–27 Education Plans

BALLICO, Merced County — Residents seeking information about local education can use original school records rather than relying on unverified posts. The Merced County Office of Education lists the Ballico-Cressey Elementary School District at 11818 Gregg Street, Ballico, telephone 209-394-9400. Its directory identifies the district’s usual board meeting time as the second Thursday at 5:30 p.m.; the district should be contacted to confirm the schedule for a particular month.

Where to find the current education plan

The county education office’s district directory links the 2026–27 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) for Ballico-Cressey. This state-required planning document can help families examine local priorities, services and accountability measures. A district LCAP is not the same thing as a day-by-day school calendar, and a proposed budget is not an adopted board action.

School contacts and calendar

The district website provides a calendar, campus information and parent resources. The California Department of Education also maintains the Ballico-Cressey Community Charter record to verify campus status and contact details. Residents should check the actual board agenda before visiting or submitting comments.

Share community information

Families, trustees and local organizations can send dated public meeting materials, school events or factual corrections to Ballico News. California58 operates the digital edition centrally while covering matters that directly affect this community.
