Pajaro Valley Unified School District - Sustainable Schools Advisory Board 10/14/2026

The October 14, 2026, Sustainable Schools Advisory Board meeting of Pajaro Valley Unified School District focused on revising the committee’s timeline and work plan for developing school-closure and consolidation recommendations. Members outlined an eight-meeting process covering an operational program model (OPM) for school configurations, community surveys and engagement, draft boundary maps, impact assessments, public feedback, recommendations, and a later implementation discussion. The group informally supported the proposed work structure and scheduled several upcoming meetings, with the goal of presenting a timeline and requesting an extension from the school board on October 28. Members discussed the possibility of implementation beginning in the 2027–28 school year and noted staffing, labor-partner, and district budget-submission deadlines as timing considerations.

The committee formed work groups for the OPM, survey, and community-engagement plan. The survey is to be revised, made available in multiple languages and in paper and online formats, and distributed with district support and through school and community channels. Microsoft Forms and SurveyMonkey were discussed; SurveyMonkey would require a purchase, but no purchasing decision, contract award, or funding allocation was made. No other procurement activity was identified.
