The WCSD Board of Trustees held a regular meeting on June 23, 2026, focusing on several key procurement and budget matters. The board approved a restart charter contract for Sierra Nevada Academy Charter School, which included performance-based termination provisions, increased monitoring, and a sponsorship fee increase from 1.5% to 2%. They also awarded a five-year contract to Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield for third-party health administrator services for employee health benefits, with an estimated value of over $15.5 million. Additionally, the board approved a revised 10-year capital improvement plan and authorized the issuance of up to $50 million in general obligation bonds to fund the FY27 capital renewal plan. Discussions included the administrative facilities master plan, with a recommendation to remove Woroster High School from consideration and explore acquisition of commercial properties for consolidating central office staff. The board also considered the external reuse evaluation for the recently closed Oldstead Elementary School, moving forward with community engagement and potential proposals for external reuse. The meeting concluded with tributes to outgoing Superintendent Ernst and announcements for the next meeting.
