NCLUSD Monthly Board Meeting, June 15, 2026

The Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District (NCLUSD) held its monthly board meeting on June 15, 2026. Key procurement and budget-related discussions included approval of a change order for the Stein High School irrigation system upgrade, which consolidates eight irrigation controllers into one at a cost just under $5,000, representing a cost-saving investment. The board also approved instructional material adoption for mathematics grades 7-8, selecting Amplified Desmos for K-8 and California Reveal for grades 9-12. Several personnel-related salary schedules and collective bargaining agreements were approved, including a 3% raise for staff and the superintendent, with some board members expressing concern about the fiscal impact on district reserves. The board authorized an end-of-year fund transfer resolution to support areas like adult education and approved the 2026-27 Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). Discussions highlighted the district's efforts to balance budget constraints with staffing and program needs amid declining enrollment, aiming to restore reserves to board policy levels. No new capital projects beyond the irrigation system upgrade were noted, but the board reaffirmed commitment to ongoing facilities master plan updates tied to potential Career Technical Education funding.
