Central Unified Board of Trustees Meeting October 27th , 2026

The Central Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting was held October 27, 2026. Procurement-related discussion included an information item on renewing the district’s cybersecurity data-recovery system: the current license expires in June 2027, and the proposed renewal would require a one-time payment of $179,429. The item was scheduled to return under consent; no renewal approval, vendor selection, or contract award was recorded. The board also received an update on facility projects, including campus fencing, camera-management software, intrusion-alarm replacements, and other security and site improvements. The project list was preliminary, with funding still being identified and no bid approvals or specific project awards reported.

The board discussed proposed staffing and funding changes, including a $34,000 increase to middle-school athletic-director stipends for the remainder of the school year, to be funded from unfilled positions; the item was scheduled to return for action. Administration also described proposed positions using restricted or grant funding and reported estimated annual savings of about $1.85 million under a proposal being discussed with CSEA, with details and overall fiscal impact still to be clarified. Two no-cost memoranda of understanding for student and family support programs were expected to return for action. No procurement policy changes were adopted.
