November 04, 2026--Board of Trustees Public Meeting

The November 4, 2026, Redwood City School District Board of Trustees public meeting included approval of a proposal from QKA to update the district’s facilities master plan. The discussion described the work as an approximately $250,000 planning effort and said the update is needed to reflect current enrollment, capacity, facility conditions, construction costs, and new Proposition 2 requirements for pursuing state school-facilities funding. The board approved the bond action item by motion and vote. No construction projects were approved; the update will guide future decisions about remaining Measure S funds, including possible HVAC work at approximately seven sites, middle-school needs, and district infrastructure. Staff cited annual school-construction escalation of roughly 4–6% and said the district could be eligible for multiple millions of dollars in state funding, subject to site-level assessment and program requirements. Work is intended to proceed alongside community engagement and district studies, with future projects returning to the board for approval.

The board also received updates on California School Dashboard results and the district communications plan, with no related procurement decisions identified. Public comment raised requests for age-appropriate limits on classroom screen use; the board noted that the topic had been referred to its policy committee, and the superintendent said a future update would cover technology-device use and an AI integration committee. The meeting also included school performance, attendance, English-learner outcomes, family communications, and board reports.
