North Monterey County Unified School District Board Meeting 04/23/2026

The North Monterey County Unified School District Board Meeting held on April 23, 2026, focused primarily on educational program updates, student achievements, and curriculum adoption processes. Key procurement-related discussions included the adoption of a new math curriculum for grades K-8, where two options, Classroom Mathematics and Eureka Math Squared California, were piloted. After extensive community and teacher input, the board leaned towards recommending Eureka Math Squared due to its alignment with district needs, especially for English learners and students with disabilities. The meeting also covered updates on special education inclusion programs, migrant education services managed by the Monterey County Office of Education, and after-school programs. While no direct contract awards or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, the curriculum adoption process and related pilot programs imply upcoming procurement activities. The board unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing April 2026 as Autism Acceptance Month and April 28, 2026, as California School Bus Driver Appreciation Day. Additionally, the board publicly disclosed sunshine proposals for the 2026-2027 collective bargaining negotiations with the teachers' federation. No specific budget allocations or contract numbers were discussed during this meeting.
