Regular Board Meeting January 14, 2026

The MUHSD District Board held its regular meeting on January 14, 2026, where key discussions focused on educational program updates, fiscal and facility planning, and cybersecurity enhancements. The board reviewed the growth of the CTE public service pathway and student certification achievements. Fiscal updates highlighted the state budget outlook, including a 2.41% COLA increase and potential one-time funding of approximately $2.8 million, with discussions on the implications of funding formula changes. Facilities updates covered ongoing projects such as the El Capitan Stadium and business park, upcoming pool renovations, and the need for significant investment in campus infrastructure, estimating $35 million per campus for CTE-related projects. The board considered the possibility of a future bond measure to fund these capital improvements. Additionally, the board approved implementing a proactive layered cybersecurity strategy by contracting Arctic Wolf's managed detection and response services starting February 2026, with funding options including one-time funds and next year's budget. No other contract awards or vendor selections were reported during the meeting.
