April 7, 2026 AESD Special Board of Education Meeting

The Adelanto Elementary School District held a special board meeting on April 7, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing proposals submitted in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued in February for an unspecified service or project. The board discussed the evaluation process, which included a committee of administrators, site principals, and union representatives who scored and ranked the proposals using a rubric. Three firms—Aryan Associates, HYA, and the Cosca Group—were identified as the top contenders. The board emphasized transparency and the avoidance of conflicts of interest, noting that one firm had a former district employee involved but no current conflicts were found. The board directed that these three firms be invited to present their proposals at the next board meeting on April 14, 2026, after which the board will deliberate and select a firm. Questions were raised about the timeline for recruitment and contract execution, with assurances that the process would allow sufficient time for thorough work and that contract approval would follow presentations. The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote to adjourn.
