MVLA Board of Trustees Meeting: May 4, 2026

The Mountain View-Los Altos (MVLA) Board of Trustees held a meeting on May 4, 2026, primarily focused on educational updates, student recognitions, and district governance matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of proposals for synthetic turf field replacements and track overlays at Mountain View High School and Los Altos High School, with contracts awarded to Field Turf USA. The board discussed the significant cost of nearly $1.5 million for the Mountain View High project and addressed community concerns about health and environmental impacts of artificial turf, with assurances provided regarding safety and materials used. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved updates to governance handbooks and policies, including those related to district records access and social media, while deferring some policy changes for future meetings. Board members also expressed interest in receiving updates on professional contracts and developing a vision and strategy for AI integration in the district. No votes were taken on AI policy at this meeting, but it was identified as a priority for future discussion.
