OCESD Board Meeting

The OCESD Board’s regular meeting on August 20, 2026, included several procurement and facilities actions. The board approved the school-day enrichment bids and awarded the 2026–27 services contract to the Oroville Southside Community Improvement Association; the transcript indicates one bid was received. The board also approved a food-services memorandum of understanding with the Butte County Office of Education for Oakdale Heights Children’s Center. For an administrative building project, the board approved the bids and awarded site-preparation work to Western Valley Construction, identified as the low bidder among four. The $325,000 is for site preparation; the modular buildings are being purchased under a separate contract. Completion was anticipated by the end of calendar year 2026. The board president recused herself from the enrichment item due to a financial interest. These actions passed with five yes votes where vote results were stated.

The board also approved two memoranda of understanding for management and classified staff stipends funded by a state preschool grant, adopted an updated policy packet reflecting state-law changes, and approved an amended letter of intent with Stream Charter School regarding notice-of-violation remedies. A facilities update covered ongoing classroom, playground, landscaping, and campus improvements, with additional work planned subject to funding and project timing.
