SYSD Board Meeting (11/12/26)

The San Ysidro School District Governing Board met on November 12, 2026. Procurement and facilities-related items included approval of an agreement with Security Pass Technology Corporation for school security; the board discussed that Willow Elementary’s amount was 35% higher because modernization included fencing and cameras. The board also approved an amendment to the district’s contract with Wilson Hadley King & Co.; the transcript indicates one abstention, but does not provide the contract value or amendment amount. A public hearing was opened and closed on proposed school facilities projects and School Facility Program funding, with no specific project awards or dollar amounts stated. The board recognized the district’s bond transparency and accountability work and approved a resolution requesting a temporary transfer of funds for fiscal year 2026–27; the transcript does not clearly capture the vote on that resolution.

The board reviewed enrollment projections and was told declining enrollment could reduce revenue by an estimated $3.2 million in 2027–28; a budget reduction plan is to be included in the first interim financial report in December 2026. An actuary reported a $13 million GASB 75 liability for retiree health benefits and discussed possible discretionary contributions to the district’s recently opened OPEB trust. The board also approved the proposed naming of the Veronica Medina Memorial Family Resource Room. No specific contract numbers or dollar amounts for the security agreement or auditor amendment were stated.
