4/21/2026 Board of Education Meeting

The Newark Unified School District Board of Education held its regular meeting on April 21, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of an addendum to an individual contract agreement with Ed Theory Staffing Services for $16,284 to convert a contracted teacher to a district employee, which was unanimously approved. The board also discussed the urgent need to relocate the district's server room due to severe roof damage at the district office, with plans to use existing CMAS agreements for the move and related air conditioning installation. This item will be brought back for formal approval at a future meeting. Additionally, the board reviewed and adopted a revised mobile device policy for students, reflecting staff survey input, and approved personnel and non-personnel consent agenda items. The meeting included presentations on summer school programs, enrollment projections, and recognition of staff and students, but no other direct contract awards or RFPs were noted.
