October 13, 2026 - Murrieta Valley USD Board of Education Regular Meeting

The Murrieta Valley USD Board of Education regular meeting on October 13, 2026, approved the expanded learning opportunities program grant plan, adopted Resolution 26-2709 authorizing the retention of Bullock and related actions, and approved a change order under Contract C00001594 for the athletic field lighting replacement project. The board also took up Resolution 26-27-11 authorizing replacement and repairs to the high-voltage electrical system at Cole Canyon Elementary; the transcript records a motion and second but garbles the ensuing vote. Agenda item G5 was removed at a member’s request pending additional information. The district also recognized the Astro Lab telescope project, scheduled to open at Lisa J. Males Elementary on December 6; a $100,000 contribution from Riverside County helped fund it, and a trustee said it was fully funded without upfront district costs.

Public comments focused heavily on the proposed Measure M school bond, including concerns about its $359 million amount, tax impacts, and campaign contributions. The superintendent said the district’s AA1 credit rating could save taxpayers an estimated $20–$40 million over the bond’s life if Measure M passes, and described the structure as intended not to increase tax rates; these were discussion points, not a board vote on the bond at this meeting. Other discussion included school safety partnerships, adult education, employee compensation, and teacher concerns about proposed office-hours expectations. No other specific purchasing decisions or contract amounts were identified.
