HESD Governing Board Meeting 03/23/26

The Hueneme Elementary School District Governing Board held a meeting on March 23, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The board approved a contract award to Kone Construction for the installation of a kitchen hood at Ansgar Larson Elementary School, following a formal bidding process with three competitive bids. The contract award was passed unanimously to ensure construction could proceed during the summer break without disrupting the school nutrition program. Additionally, the board disclosed a tentative collective bargaining agreement with the Hueneme Education Association, including a 1.5% salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2025, accompanied by a financial impact statement as required by state legislation. The board also approved salary adjustments for administrative and confidential employees to maintain parity with represented staff. Other agenda items included updates on educational screening tools, policy revisions, and resolutions celebrating teachers and classified employees. No other direct procurement actions or capital improvement projects were noted during the meeting.
