(Español) Meeting of the Board of Education, June 3rd, 2026

The Long Beach Unified School District Board of Education held a meeting on June 3, 2026, focusing on various district matters including student expulsions, administrative transfers, and student achievements. Significant procurement-related discussions included approval of technology contracts totaling approximately $195,000 for IT support and infrastructure modernization, and a $343,000 contract with Court Districts for data collaboration and improvements. The board addressed concerns about potential conflicts of interest related to the superintendent's board membership in an organization receiving a contract, clarifying no conflict exists as the superintendent is not involved in the contracting process. Budget updates highlighted challenges with declining student enrollment, rising costs, and the need for sustainable funding, especially for special education programs. The board also reviewed the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) draft and discussed the superintendent search process, scheduling a special meeting for June 15, 2026, to appoint the new superintendent. Public testimony covered topics such as library staffing, mental health support, and equity in education. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of staff and student achievements and upcoming graduation events.
