LASD Board Meeting 10/26/26

Los Altos School District Board meeting, October 26, 2026. The board reviewed design finishes for the San Antonio campus project, including exterior materials, classroom and specialty-space finishes, acoustics, and maintenance considerations. District staff said the project remained on schedule and within budget, with several million dollars in construction and design contingency still untouched. The board unanimously approved Amendment No. 3 to the Block Construction contract; the transcript gives the revised guaranteed maximum price as approximately $73.46 million, though the precise figure is garbled. Amendment No. 3B, covering remaining bid packages such as flooring, is expected in November, with a final increment anticipated in spring.

The board also unanimously adopted sole-source resolutions designating Bogen Nyquist E7000 for district bell-paging procurement and Gamewell FCI for fire-alarm procurement, citing system standardization, maintenance, and replacement needs during campus modernization. Staff noted that fire-alarm upgrades will include voice evacuation features required by DSA. In employee comments, staff called for more consistent, districtwide emergency-preparedness procedures and communications; no related purchase or spending action was taken.
