BPSD Board Meeting 4-9-26

The Tech Squad governing board held a meeting on April 9, 2026, focusing primarily on educational program updates and procurement decisions related to curriculum adoption and student activities. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the approval of a new K-5 mathematics curriculum, Amplify Mathematics, following a comprehensive two-year pilot and evaluation process involving teacher feedback and alignment with California standards. The board approved this curriculum adoption unanimously, highlighting the inclusion of teacher training and digital access for students. Additionally, the board approved overnight travel for 6th and 8th grade students to academic competitions in Nashville and Richmond, Tennessee, and Virginia, respectively. Several resolutions recognizing school staff and employees were also passed. The meeting included presentations on student engagement events and district initiatives but did not detail specific contract awards or vendor selections beyond the curriculum adoption. The board also discussed future budget and funding considerations related to mental health and special education resources.
