PCS Board of Education Meeting: October 6, 2026

Petaluma City Schools Board of Education meeting, October 6, 2026. The board approved selecting Core and Group as the best-value design-build entity for the Valley Vista transitional kindergarten project. Staff said the district issued an RFQ, shortlisted four firms (one withdrew), and evaluated proposals and interviews from three firms. The selection covers moving forward with design; staff will return with the project’s guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for approval. Board members also emphasized early communication with nearby residents and opportunities for community input. A separate resolution concerning new wireless telecommunications transmitters on district property was approved after amendments, with one opposing vote recorded; staff will bring related revisions to Board Policy 3280 back at a future meeting. McNair families requested fencing and gates as a summer 2027 safety priority, but no project approval or funding allocation was made.
