The Washington Unified School District Board of Education held a regular meeting on June 25, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. A key agenda item was the approval of a $2,880,731 alternative design-build contract with Flint Design Build LLC for the Measure Z Performing Arts Center project at River City High School, scheduled for completion in 2028. The board discussed the design-build delivery method, cost management strategies including early procurement and prefabrication, and the collaborative nature of the project. The contract was approved unanimously. Additionally, the board approved the district's 2026-2027 adopted budget and renewed a contract with the Yolo Food Bank to continue providing food assistance at three schools with high percentages of families qualifying for free or reduced meals. Questions were raised about the utilization and impact of the food bank services. Other items included approval of local control accountability plans and trustee compensation for missed meetings. The meeting also featured updates on budget advisory committee processes and advocacy efforts related to education reporting requirements.
