(Español) Special Meeting of the Board of Education, October 7th, 2026

Special meeting of the Long Beach Unified School District Board of Education; the title identifies October 7, 2026, while the metadata timestamp is October 13, 2026. Board members discussed school visits focused on literacy instruction, student progress, and how district data guide staff support and resource allocation. The district described deploying instructional advisers to schools identified through performance data and monitoring implementation of teaching practices. No contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or other procurement actions were identified.

The board received a fiscal-stabilization and enrollment briefing. Staff said a $30 million stabilization effort had reduced, but not eliminated, the district’s operating gap; additional savings measures, including limiting new hiring, were being considered to reduce the risk of more drastic future changes or state receivership. The presentation cited a loss of more than 16,000 students over ten years and discussed declining enrollment’s effects on revenue and school funding. Staff also reviewed how community priorities inform the three-year ELCAP and its spending strategies. Board members were asked to review fiscal-stabilization guiding principles and submit feedback by October 21; no vote was reported.
