CVUSD Board Meeting 06/25/2026

The Coachella Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) Board held a meeting on June 25, 2026, addressing multiple procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included approval of the 2026-27 proposed budget, a service agreement for concurrent enrollment courses with Imperial Valley College, and an increase in contract amount with Alivera's Madruga Law Organization for legal services during the 2025-26 fiscal year. The board also approved continuation of participation in the dental group self-funded insurance for the 2026-27 fiscal year and a tentative agreement with the Coachella Valley Teachers Association, which included a salary cap increase that drew some dissent. Additionally, the board discussed the allocation of funds within the Extended Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) budget and expressed concerns about budget cuts and their long-term impact. Public comments focused heavily on opposition to proposed data center developments near district schools due to environmental and health concerns, as well as calls for adoption of an asthma rescue program and improvements in transportation services. The board acknowledged these concerns and committed to further policy development and community engagement. Motions related to budget approvals and contract awards were passed with majority votes, while some members voiced opposition based on fiscal priorities and contract terms.
