DUSD #27 Regular Board Meeting - November 4, 2026

At the Douglas Unified School District #27 regular board meeting on November 4, 2026, administrators reported that first-quarter spending in M&O and Title I was about 23–25% of budget, with remaining year-to-date balances of 9% for M&O and 19.64% for Title I; capital funds were also discussed. The district projected a 30–35% year-end rollover. The board discussed replacing bleachers at Paul Huber Middle School after homecoming and completing high school gym bleachers, with the gym work targeted for July; football-field bleachers were being considered for a later year. Norcon was identified as the bleacher vendor, while the electrical contractor was not named. No contract award or project spending vote was recorded. Administrators also outlined enrollment-related financial pressures and recommended further review of staffing, expenditures, and the district’s eight-school structure; no decision was made on school closures or consolidation.

The board received academic and staffing updates and voted to approve several personnel items, including certified and classified hires, an ESI hire, resignations, an athletic hire, and athletic volunteers. Donations discussed included DonorsChoose contributions and a $500 APS Supply My Class gift card for Douglas High School. The board also heard public comments and considered the superintendent’s recommendation to dismiss ESS instructional aide Alberto Figueroa and report the matter to the state; the transcript ends after a motion is made and before any second or vote is recorded.
