Central Unified Board of Trustees Meeting November 10th , 2026

The Central Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting, identified in the transcript as November 10, 2026, included several procurement and spending decisions. The board approved a Symetra health and welfare stop-loss contract that raises the district’s coverage threshold from $275,000 to $300,000, with an estimated $48,000 cost increase rather than approximately $300,000 if the existing threshold were retained; staff said employee benefits would not be affected. It also approved a $160,920.24 parking-lot fence installation at Central Learning Adult School and a $965,878.41 Musco field-lighting installation at Central High School, both using CMS contract 20780089C and subject to DSA review. The field-lighting cost is to be fronted from the general fund, with anticipated state reimbursement discussed. The board approved a middle-school athletic director stipend MOU, deductive change orders for the Jaswat Singh Chawla Elementary project and exterior painting at four sites, school-plan spending adjustments, and acceptance of $808 in Central High School basketball donations. It also approved a $1,429,319 CTE incentive grant allocation, an increase of $629,319 from the prior year, with funds available through June 30, 2028.
