SRUSD Board Meeting - July 8th, 2026

The Santa Rita Union School District Board held a meeting on July 8, 2026, where several procurement-related items were discussed and approved. Key contract approvals included the renewal of a contract with Heartland Solutions for point of sale and data maintenance services for nutrition services, and the approval of a consolidated K-12 streaming licensing agreement with Swank, providing access to over 40,000 movies for classroom use. The board also approved the May 2026 policy updates from CSBA, which included new legal requirements for school volunteers to become mandated reporters, involving additional screening and training processes. The board discussed the potential for the district to cover the $60 fingerprinting cost for certain volunteers to encourage participation, with a proposal to be brought back for consideration. Other topics included updates on technology installations, donations of office and classroom equipment, and preparations for the upcoming school year. The meeting concluded with a discussion on managing student screen time, with plans to explore this further through the district curriculum council.
