PUSD BOE Meeting - 10/08/2026 - 6:00 PM

Regular meeting of the Poway Unified School District Board of Education, October 8, 2026. The board considered continuing emergency authorization for mold remediation and related restoration at Del Sur Elementary and Black Mountain Middle School. Staff reported that abatement and classroom restoration at Black Mountain were complete, while work at Del Sur would continue with further updates and future repair items to return to the board. The board also discussed a proposed facility-use fee increase of 10% plus the California Consumer Price Index, effective July 1, 2027, to address the gap between facility-use revenue (about $1.25 million annually) and direct operating costs (over $7 million); the transcript does not clearly capture the vote on this item.

The board unanimously approved Resolution 16-2027 authorizing the issuance of Poway Unified School District CFD No. 15 Dulster East 2026 special tax bonds and related bond documents. The transaction is expected to provide about $38 million for a qualifying project, with the district using existing CFD tax revenue brought forward rather than increasing residents’ tax bills; staff cited an A+ credit rating and a negotiated sale process. No specific remediation vendors or contract amounts were identified. The meeting also included updates on business-support improvements, classroom technology and AI use, but no related vendor selection or technology contract award was reported.
