Open Session - SMBSD Board Meeting - April 15, 2026

The SMBSD Family held an open session board meeting on April 15, 2026, primarily focused on discussing the district's facilities master plan and Measure K bond projects. The meeting included a detailed presentation on enrollment growth, capacity challenges at existing schools, and the need for new construction to accommodate increasing student populations. The board reviewed the planning and prioritization process for Measure K, which involves a significant investment of approximately $1.257 billion aimed at constructing new elementary and middle schools, modernizing existing facilities, and addressing overcrowding. The board also discussed the recent sale of $15 million in school bonds to fund initial projects and emphasized ongoing communication and updates regarding the bond-funded construction and modernization efforts. Concerns were raised about changes in project priorities and the need for better communication with the community and board members about these shifts. The meeting concluded with the board acknowledging the facilities master plan and Measure K school focus as presented, and no further business was conducted in the special session before adjourning.
