CJUSD Board Meeting - October 15, 2026

At the October 15, 2026 Colton Joint Unified School District board meeting, the board received a Measure B facilities update on projects in the Bloomington area. Smith Elementary is in design for a new six-classroom building to replace portable classrooms, along with a playground and passenger drop-off improvements. The district also reviewed plans for a new automotive technology and engineering CTE facility at Bloomington High School. The project is currently budgeted at approximately $18 million, with a projected district contribution of $16.5 million; the district is pursuing state matching funds, including a competitive CTE facilities grant opportunity of up to $6 million. The application period closes December 1, 2026, with grant scoring expected in March 2027 and funding anticipated in fall 2028 if awarded. These were planning and funding updates; no construction contract award or bid approval was reported.

The board approved action items 5.1–5.40 by a 7–0 vote, but the transcript does not identify their individual contents or any procurement decisions within them. The Tomorrow’s Leaders Foundation also presented a $17,500 contribution for district libraries and reported a $50,000 sponsorship from US Engineering League to support scholarships and other foundation work; these were donations, not contract awards. No vendor selection or purchasing action was identified.
