BUSD Board Meeting 11/5/2026

Benicia Unified School District Board of Education meeting, November 5, 2026. The board approved an agreement with the Solano County Office of Education to use the TAD Health platform for eligible school-based behavioral health services. There is no upfront district cost; BUSD will retain 80% of eligible reimbursements, with 20% going to SCOE for billing and administrative fees. The board also approved a 0.5 FTE teacher-on-special-assignment position for teacher support, funded with one-time funds, and an additional full-time school psychologist position in response to assessment and student-support needs. Trustees discussed the recurring budget pressures behind staffing cuts and additions. The board approved the 2025–26 annual developer fee report and resolutions concerning obsolete property at Joe Henderson Elementary and authorization of childcare-program signatures; no specific contract award or major purchasing bid was reported.

The board unanimously approved Resolution 26-27-15 affirming positive, safe, and inclusive school environments and addressing racist and harmful language and acts, with an amendment to include site administrators in enforcement. A special education presentation covered assessment procedures, staffing capacity, and plans to align student-support processes across elementary schools. The meeting also included closed-session actions on student expulsion and employee dismissal, and recognition of two outgoing trustees. No competitive procurement or capital-project award was identified.
