TustinUSD Board Meeting 9-28-2026

At the September 28, 2026 Tustin Unified School District Board meeting, the board approved Resolution 0925-26 and a contingent-fee contract for legal services related to litigation concerning social media and video game addiction. The motion passed with no opposition; the transcript provides no law firm, contract value, or fee terms. The board also discussed the Educational Technology Task Force, which staff had already begun forming to review classroom technology use and develop recommendations; no screen-time policy was adopted. Board members called for a baseline assessment and consistent guidance, while public commenters urged limits on screen use among younger students and requested a timeline for action.

Other financial and operational matters included a report that Career Technical Education receives approximately $3–8 million annually in grant funding, and a presentation on expanded learning describing facility work completed on 14 buildings at 10 sites, with work planned for 13 more buildings at five sites next summer; no related contract awards or spending approvals were identified. The board held public hearings and accepted initial bargaining proposals from employee associations and the district, and approved a tentative agreement with the Tustin Educators Association on contract duration. Nutrition-services employees raised pay concerns, but no board action on compensation was reported.
