SESD Board Meeting October 1 2026

At the October 1, 2026 regular meeting of the Sunnyvale School District Board, trustees approved consent agenda items 5–0. Discussion covered the Bay Area Tutoring Association after-school tutoring services, including a proposed focus on English learner level-three students’ writing in small groups with progress checks every eight weeks; accessibility, transportation, and program evaluation were raised for follow-up. The consent agenda also included ratification of the Wordly translation service agreement and a blanket purchase order for employee fingerprinting, discussed at $29,873.25. The transcript does not clearly establish separate amounts or terms for the tutoring or translation agreements. The board also approved Resolution R2710 on the sufficiency of instructional materials, 5–0.

The board approved Resolution R2709, 5–0, authorizing a lease-leaseback agreement with Landmark for pre-construction services on the Cherry Chase Elementary School modernization project. Landmark ranked highest among three proposals in a competitive best-value process. The pre-construction obligation is capped at $29,571.97, funded from Measure C bond funds; the overall project has a previously approved $40 million amount. The action did not approve a construction guaranteed maximum price, which is to be negotiated and brought back later; the district may terminate if the parties do not agree.
