SSFUSD Board Meeting - February 12, 2026

The South San Francisco Unified School District (SSFUSD) Board Meeting on February 12, 2026, focused heavily on procurement and budget-related discussions, particularly regarding the Losertos Elementary School modernization and interim housing project. Staff presented three options for the modernization, recommending option two—a one-story TK classroom building with interim housing at the Ben site—as the most cost-effective and feasible, with a projected cost of $34 million. The board discussed funding gaps, cost escalation, and enrollment projections, ultimately approving the recommendation with an amendment to address funding concerns. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved several contracts and agreements, including a referral bonus program with the South San Francisco Classroom Teachers Association and a contract with 360deree Customer Incorporated for substitute support services. The meeting also included approval of a new Tagalogue Filipino course and adoption of the UFli Foundations literacy curriculum. Travel requests for board members to attend a federal advocacy trip were discussed but deferred for further consideration. Several motions related to budget transparency and credit card expense inquiries were made, with some items pulled for future discussion. Overall, the meeting emphasized careful stewardship of bond funds, strategic planning for capital improvements, and ongoing contract approvals to support district operations and educational programs.
