In-Person/Virtual Regular Board Meeting - November 5, 2026

The Hacienda La Puente Unified School District Board of Education regular meeting was held November 5, 2026. The board approved or ratified current-year bond-project expenditures and unanimously awarded Measure BB bond bid bundle 10 for work at Bixby and Sparks Middle Schools 2 to The Nazarian Group, for an amount not to exceed the transcript’s garbled figure “3,84,23” (the dollar amount should be verified against the agenda or contract). During discussion, a trustee questioned the district’s repeated awards to the company, describing them as a red flag and asking how it received the contract; no wrongdoing was established. The board also tabled the listed policy items. No other specific contract awards or purchasing actions were clearly identified.

Other major business included a presentation on student achievement and district instructional priorities, public comments about school facilities, safety, and a proposed nearby data center and battery storage facility, and a public hearing on a proposed censure of Trustee Stephanie Serrano. The censure resolution passed 3–2. Staff bargaining updates covered work schedules and continued health-benefit discussions, but no agreement or spending commitment was reported. The superintendent introduced the newly appointed director of purchasing and warehouse; the appointment had been made at an earlier meeting.
