May 19, 2026 Regular School Board Meeting

The Cotati Rohnert Park Unified School District held its regular school board meeting on May 19, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of upcoming overnight field trips, with motions passed to approve these trips despite some concerns about after-the-fact approvals and the need for more detailed information on trip specifics. The board also ratified Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) for the 2026-2027 school year with El Camino High School and University Elementary at La Fiesta (UELF), which included provisions for multi-age classrooms and class size management. Additionally, the board accepted community donations totaling approximately $1,270 for various school programs. Fiscal updates were provided, highlighting enrollment projections, budget assumptions including a 2.87% COLA increase, and a projected surplus for the next fiscal year. Policy discussions touched on the legal requirements for board approval of overnight trips and the importance of timely submissions to avoid after-the-fact approvals. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported during this meeting.
