2026.07.28 LVUSD School Board Meeting

The Las Virgenes Unified School District held a board meeting on July 28, 2026, focusing on several key procurement and budgetary matters. The board approved a piggyback purchasing agreement with Apple, enabling the district to procure Apple products at optimal pricing, though no specific purchase amounts were disclosed. Additionally, the board awarded a security services contract to City Guard following a competitive RFP process that included multiple proposals and thorough evaluations, emphasizing the company's experience in school security and cost-effectiveness. The board also approved the addition of new clubs within the district and discussed the renewal of Measure E parcel tax, which funds classroom teachers and is critical for maintaining educational quality. The measure was recommended for placement on the November ballot at the existing $98 rate, with polling indicating community support despite economic challenges. A budget update highlighted an additional $11 million in one-time state funding and ongoing fiscal prudence amid uncertainties in state funding, including Prop 98 shortfalls. The meeting also included extensive public commentary on technology policies, particularly concerning AI and screen time in classrooms, reflecting community concerns but no immediate procurement actions related to these issues.
