Turlock USD Board Meeting - 4/21/2026

The Turlock Unified School District Board held a meeting on April 21, 2026, covering a wide range of topics including educational program updates, staff recognitions, and administrative appointments. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a lease-leaseback contract award to John F Auto Construction for the Walnut Elementary Education Center modular expansion project, with a contract value of approximately $1.946 million. The board also discussed proposed updates to the district's facilities use fee structure to better align with recent legal changes and operational cost increases, aiming to recover full direct costs from non-district affiliated fee-based programs, such as local aquatics clubs, to reduce subsidies from the general fund. Additionally, the board approved a resolution to expand transitional kindergarten and kindergarten programs at Osborne Two-Way Immersion Academy from part-day to full-day starting in the 2027-28 school year, potentially supported by grant funding. Several personnel appointments and collective bargaining agreement revisions were approved, including salary schedule increases for represented employees. The meeting included reports on bond oversight committee activities, highlighting challenges in oversight and recommendations for improved transparency and accountability in bond-funded projects. No votes were taken on the facilities use fee updates, which were presented for informational purposes with future action planned.
