Pomona Unified School District - Board meeting - 2-11-26

The Pomona Unified School District Board meeting held on February 11, 2026, covered a wide range of topics including educational programs, student recognitions, and district operations. Key procurement-related discussions included an overview of the lease-leaseback construction delivery method authorized under California Education Code 17406 for the Golden Springs Elementary School project. This method allows the district to select a qualified contractor through a best value selection process to manage a multi-phase construction project on an active campus, aiming for improved project quality and efficiency. The board approved this construction procurement approach with a unanimous 5-0 vote. Additionally, the meeting addressed budget updates, career technical education (CTE) pathways, and staffing matters, including the annual release of temporary certificated employees and salary schedules for administrators. The board also discussed the denial of a charter school petition due to operational and compliance concerns, with the petitioner responding in opposition. Various presentations highlighted student achievements, special education legal frameworks, and community concerns. No other contract awards or vendor selections were reported during this session.
