The CNUSD Board of Education held a business meeting on June 23, 2026, focusing on various district operational and educational matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of multiple certificated management reclassifications and appointments effective July 1, 2026, to fill vacancies across several schools. The board also approved several legal service contracts, including a one-year contract with Atkinson, Anos, Lawyer Rud and Romo for district-wide legal services not to exceed $700,000, with a motion to explore cost-benefit analyses for in-house counsel versus outside firms. Additionally, the board authorized consultant speech and language pathologists to fill temporary vacancies and approved resolutions allowing teachers to instruct outside their credential areas.
