Regular Board Meeting - Thursday, January 15, 2026

The Belmont-Redwood Shores School District held a regular board meeting on January 15, 2026, focusing on several key topics including middle school enrollment challenges, potential school closures, and curriculum adoption. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to community input regarding the possible closure of either Nesbitt or Sandpiper Middle School due to declining enrollment and financial sustainability concerns. The board discussed enrollment projections, staffing ratios, and the impact on student choice and community cohesion. Additionally, the district presented updates on the math curriculum adoption process, including pilot programs for new K-5 and 6-8 math curricula featuring advanced technology and AI tools to support differentiated instruction. The board also approved salary schedules for classified, certificated management, confidential, and supervisory staff, reflecting negotiated agreements and adjustments. Policy updates were reviewed, including discussions on emerging issues such as micromobility (e-bikes and scooters) at school sites. No contract awards or specific procurement actions were reported, but the curriculum adoption and staffing decisions indicate ongoing procurement and budget planning activities.
