Banning USD Regular Board Meeting, October 14, 2026

The Banning Unified School District Board of Trustees held its regular meeting on October 14, 2026. The main procurement item was Business Services agenda item 8.1: the board approved Request for Qualifications No. 27-002 for capital facilities program management and construction management services. Staff said approval would allow the district to develop a facilities project priority list and timelines for the December 12 board meeting, using Measure O funds. Services would be engaged for specific projects on an hourly, as-needed basis, with project budgets and purchase orders established and invoices monitored; expenditures would appear in board reporting. No contract amounts or selected firms were identified in the transcript.

The board also approved several Human Resources memoranda of understanding with Baylor University, California Baptist University, Emerson College, and Western Governors University for clinical placements or student teaching. Business Services discussed plans to establish a process for surplus computers, potentially offering functioning equipment for purchase and recycling nonfunctioning devices. The board considered monthly fiscal reports that include purchase orders and warrants, and staff said they were reviewing ways to provide fuller descriptions for certain revolving-cash transactions; the transcript does not capture the item’s final vote. The board also discussed a district food-sales policy and student fundraising concerns, but no policy change or procurement action was taken on that matter.
