The Temecula Valley Unified School District Governing Board held a regular open session meeting on July 28, 2026. Key procurement-related actions included the award of a design-build construction contract to CW Driver Builders for a new two-story classroom building at Temecula Valley High School under project 202526-509. The board approved contracts for public records request management software and for secondary intervention services with Rise and Recover Alliance, a virtual substance abuse program. The board also discussed and approved new textbooks for various courses, with one textbook deferred for further review. Concerns were raised about contracts related to mental health referral services (Care Solace) and the effectiveness and costs of virtual intervention programs. The board voted to send the Care Solace contract back to committee for further review. Additionally, the board approved a contract for EMF testing near a Tesla battery installation at Tony Tobin Elementary School, with a spending cap of $3,000. Policy discussions included mobile communication device use on campus, with a focus on safety and instructional time restrictions, and a proposal for trustee ceremonial attire to promote uniformity at graduations. The board also addressed legal counsel access policies for individual trustees, ultimately adopting a CSBA legal policy with a designee for legal counsel access. Several motions related to contracts for legal services and investigations were discussed, with some items deferred to closed session for further consideration. The meeting featured extensive public and board member comments on various agenda items, emphasizing transparency, student safety, and educational quality. The next regular meeting was scheduled for August 18, 2026.
