BCCHS Regular Board Meeting - Tuesday, October 20, 2026 - MPR

The BCCHS Patriots regular board meeting was held October 20, 2026. The board received a food-services update from Chartwells, which reported serving about 50,000 lunches and nearly 12,000 breakfasts and described its use of fresh produce from California farmers. The presentation discussed a planned breakfast-serving unit for students waiting outside campus; a possible campus coffee shop was also raised as an idea, with no approval reported. Facilities updates covered baseball-field grading and upcoming sod installation, concrete work, drinking-fountain repairs, a planned security booth supported by grant funding, and consideration of a portable soccer-field scoreboard. The facilities report also noted that gym bleachers were scheduled for December.

The financial report said the school had received the contract for a $1.5 million wildfire schoolyards grant, with implementation expected over the next few years and the funding to be incorporated into the budget at first interim. A three-year Learning Community School Success grant had also been received to support several coordinator and counseling positions; the school was awaiting decisions on a federal grant and another kitchen-infrastructure grant. The board approved the September credit-card and check register and a list of athletic tournament participation items by consensus; associated costs were referenced but not clearly captured in the transcript. The CEO also reported securing a single-occupancy facilities agreement with LAUSD, preserving the school’s control of operations and maintenance while clarifying its responsibility for major deferred maintenance. No specific new vendor contract award was recorded.
