Board Meeting 4-9-26

The Humboldt Unified School District #22 held a board meeting on April 9, 2026, focusing on various educational and operational topics. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a contract with SDB Contracting Services for renovations to the carpentry classroom and lab, reflecting ongoing capital improvements funded through Career and Technical Education (CTE) funds. The board also approved the addition of varsity and junior varsity wrestling coaches for the girls' program and a dance coach at Bradshaw Mountain High School, with associated budget considerations. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing a proposed bond measure aimed at addressing critical facility needs such as HVAC, roofing, plumbing, and security upgrades across district schools. The bond, with options ranging from approximately $79.6 million to nearly $100 million, is planned for a vote in May and is designed to fund capital projects without increasing the tax rate. Additionally, the board reviewed and accepted multiple trust policies, including those related to enrollment, attendance boundaries, and dropout recovery programs, which may influence future procurement and operational decisions. The meeting concluded with motions to approve contracts, pay schedule adjustments, and personnel hires, underscoring the district's commitment to maintaining and enhancing educational facilities and programs.
