11-10-26 OVSD Board Meeting

The Ocean View School District Board of Trustees’ regular meeting on November 10, 2026, included an update on Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) enrollment and spending. Staff reported approximately $7.7 million in 2025–26 state funding plus $2.2 million in carryover, and approximately $10.4 million available for the current year. Facility upgrades at Starview and Harborview totaled about $2.5 million; the discussion also identified a $299,000 construction-management cost for Ledesma Meyer. Trustees requested more detailed project-cost information and emphasized stronger oversight and consideration of district staff capacity for future work. The Board voted 4–0 to approve the ELOP implementation guide. The presentation also noted a $40,000 allocation for fifth-grade overnight outdoor education and plans to pilot math textbooks ahead of a 2027–28 adoption; no textbook vendor was selected at this meeting.

Other actions included unanimous approval of contracts for independent educational evaluations for students with special needs, a special-education preschool side letter for the 2026–27 school year, and a multi-year school calendar. In closed-session reporting, the Board unanimously approved a settlement resolving potential special-education litigation for $0. Public comment raised school relocation, teacher compensation, and classroom screen-use concerns, but no related procurement decisions were made.
