ACUSD/COE Board Meeting of 10/7/26

The ACUSD/Amador County Office of Education board meeting was held October 7, 2026. The boards approved the 2025–26 unaudited actuals and annual Gann appropriation-limit resolutions. The district also approved a 4x4 maintenance utility truck from Folsom Lake Ford, replacing a 1992 Chevy, and two Nutrition Services vehicles after Sonora Ford submitted the lowest responsible bids. No purchase prices were stated in the transcript. The board approved a traffic-safety study proposal from Abrams Associates; its cost was not provided. Members also discussed a proposed delegation of purchasing and contracting authority with a $119,100 threshold and raised concerns about oversight, construction change orders, and safeguards; no vote on that resolution is evident in the transcript. A public commenter questioned charter-bus spending, citing approximately $40,990.50 to MGM and nearly $4,000 to Newman Charter Bus, but no action on those expenses was recorded.

The meeting included a facilities and maintenance update covering work orders, summer projects, and building repairs, along with requests for clearer work-order status and a district vehicle inventory. Financial reporting noted the district’s 2.1% reserve, below its 3% minimum, and continued attention to deficit spending and a fiscal stabilization plan. Special-education staffing and services, and the proposed consolidation of schools, were prominent discussion topics; no consolidation decision was made.
