Board Meeting - August 4, 2026

The Elk Grove Unified School District Board held a meeting on August 4, 2026, which included a significant procurement-related discussion regarding the acquisition of approximately 85 acres of real property in Rancho Cordova for the construction of a new middle school and high school. The board conducted a public hearing on the resolution determining the necessity of this acquisition and the authorization of eminent domain proceedings if necessary. The district presented detailed evidence supporting the need for the property due to enrollment growth and evaluated alternative sites, concluding that the Sun Creek site best met the district's needs. After public comments both in support and opposition, the board unanimously approved the resolution of necessity to proceed with the acquisition. Additionally, the board approved the 2026-2027 Community Facilities District tax report and adopted the related ordinance to authorize the annual levy of a special tax to finance school facilities. These actions reflect the district's commitment to fiscal stewardship and operational excellence in addressing capacity needs and funding for school infrastructure.
