October 13, 2026 SUSD Board Meeting at 4:00 PM

The Stockton Unified School District Board meeting on October 13, 2026, included several procurement and spending matters. The board approved the September 2026 purchase-order report and unanimously approved use of Lodi Unified School District bid contract 2025-50 for fresh local food and distribution services from Tasty Indian Pizza, doing business as Healthy Kids Pizza. It also unanimously awarded a formal bid to Abide Builders, Inc. for portable projects at Harrison Elementary School and Pacific Law Academy. The board approved three employees—one curriculum specialist and two high school mathematics teachers—to attend a conference October 28–31; no costs were stated. No dollar amounts were provided for these actions.

The board discussed charter transportation services under RFQ 26-20, including evaluation scores and documentation for recommended vendors First Student, Inc. and Michael’s Transportation Service, Inc. The purchasing director said she would verify the vendors’ driver documentation and report back at the next board meeting; the transcript does not capture a final vote on this item. Discussion also addressed future solicitation practices, including whether to establish a minimum evaluation score, and centralizing charter bookings through the district’s transportation department, with district drivers offered trips before outside providers. The budget oversight report noted grants submitted or awarded for school programs, but no board grant award vote or funding amounts were identified.
