10-26-2026 SRVUSD Board of Education Workshop

The October 26, 2026 San Ramon Valley Unified School District Board of Education workshop focused on the district’s Personalized Learning Initiatives (PLIs), especially non-district courses (NDCs). Staff reviewed participation data and current rules, including the allowance of up to 40 outside credits, with limits per academic year and subject area. Board members and public speakers discussed the benefits of flexibility and advancement alongside concerns about course rigor, student readiness, wellness, equity, transcript grading, and effects on course offerings and class sizes. Public comment included an estimate that families had spent about $2.56 million on outside courses; this was presented as family spending, not a district procurement or budget allocation.

The board did not vote on changes to the PLI or NDC rules. The only motion noted was approval of the workshop agenda. The superintendent indicated staff could develop policy options and bring the topic back for further discussion, with attention to student input, equity, wellness, academic rigor, and potential scheduling impacts. No contract awards, vendor selections, purchasing decisions, or other procurement activity were identified.
