Regular Board Meeting - Tuesday, November 10, 2026

The NHUSD Board’s regular meeting on November 10, 2026, included procurement and facilities updates. Staff reported that the James Logan High School pool project was in contractor selection, with a lease-leaseback agreement for the Dan Oden Swim Complex pools addition brought forward for board approval; the transcript does not clearly capture the final vote on that agreement or provide its value. The district planned to submit pool designs to the Division of the State Architect by month-end. Staff also reported that the James Logan gymnasium pavilion upgrade was awaiting DSA review and that the district planned to issue an RFP for a construction management firm. Other projects discussed included track and field work, accessibility and administrative-building upgrades, and phase two of an HVAC and LED program, which would replace about 140 HVAC systems and bring the total to more than 250 units across phases. A potential PG&E buyback program for additional stadium and athletic-field lighting was also mentioned.

The board approved collective bargaining actions with the California School Employees Association and the New Haven Teachers Association, including an adult-school salary schedule, and approved several other 2026–27 contracts, including items naming Challenge Island, Conquer LLC, and Next Gen Science Innovations. Contract amounts and detailed scopes were not clear in the transcript. The board also approved the consent agenda. Separately, members discussed renaming Cesar Chavez Middle School; a motion to name it after Dr. Tommy Lindsay Jr. did not pass, and a motion proposing Lissan Nation Middle School followed, but the transcript does not clearly record the final vote on that naming motion.
