LASD Board Meeting - March 2, 2026

The Los Altos School District Board meeting on March 2, 2026, included discussions on several procurement and budget-related topics. Board members approved the consent calendar, which included contract items, despite public concerns about the fiscal responsibility of spending on a new school site amid declining enrollment and existing facility needs. Community members expressed opposition to the purchase and development of a new campus site, citing safety and financial concerns, and urged the board to prioritize modernization of existing schools and teacher compensation. The board also approved updated policies related to immigrant students' educational rights. Additionally, the board voted to approve a slate of candidates for the 2026 CSB Delegate Assembly. Presentations included updates on middle school program planning and a wellness elective at the junior high level. No new contracts or bond measures were approved during this meeting, but the discussions highlighted ongoing capital improvement planning and community engagement challenges.
