SUHSD Board of Trustees Meeting - November 9, 2026

The Sweetwater Union High School District Board of Trustees’ regular meeting on November 9, 2026 included a 5–0 vote approving an amendment to Superintendent Dr. Agiri’s contract for a 3.25% base salary increase, effective July 1, 2026, matching the increase received by other bargaining units. The board also discussed coaching stipends; staff noted that stipend rates are subject to collective bargaining and had previously been adjusted. No procurement solicitations, vendor selections, or contract awards were identified. A Hilltop High School presentation requested district support for implementing California’s State Seal of Climate Literacy; presenters said the seal itself has no cost and that staff and teachers would volunteer to promote it. The superintendent said the district would work on implementation.

Public speakers urged the board to reconsider cancelling the district’s roller hockey program and proposed fundraising, community rink partnerships, equipment sharing, or modified schedules as alternatives. One speaker cited $13,200 in equipment costs, while others questioned how program expenses were calculated; no board decision on the program is shown in the transcript. Trustee remarks also cited past school modernization funded through voter-approved bond programs, but no new capital spending action was taken. The board’s closed-session agenda included labor negotiations.
