North Monterey County Unified School District Board Meeting 06/25/2026

The North Monterey County Unified School District Board held a meeting on June 25, 2026, focusing on educational program updates, budget discussions, and upcoming bond measures. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to reviewing the Americaore tutoring program, which provides evidence-based reading and math interventions. The board discussed the program's impact, costs, and plans for expansion with grant support, noting that the new contract would start earlier and provide more tutoring for less money. The board also reviewed the district's budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year, projecting a total of approximately $91 million in revenues and $98 million in expenditures, resulting in a combined deficit of about $6.9 million. Additionally, the board considered a resolution to place a local bond measure on the November ballot to fund school facility improvements, with legal counsel outlining the requirements for informational neutrality and oversight committee formation. The board unanimously approved the bond resolution and the district's Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) and local indicator self-reflection. Public comments emphasized the need for facility upgrades and transparency. No new contracts or vendor selections were announced during this meeting, but the discussions and approvals set the stage for future procurement related to the bond-funded capital projects and educational support services.
