(Spanish) Meeting of the Board of Education - July 15, 2026

The Long Beach Unified School District Board of Education held a meeting on July 15, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and contract approvals. The board unanimously approved employment promotions and settlement agreements related to special education litigation. They also discussed budget allocations, including an $8.484 million grant to support Career Technical Education (CTE) programs across all high schools, with funds to be distributed based on school size and student enrollment. Additionally, contracts for services supporting students with exceptional needs were reviewed, with a focus on agencies providing behavioral support and one-on-one assistants; detailed contract information and school-specific allocations are to be presented in a future meeting. The board also addressed technology service contracts related to electronic door locks and school security upgrades, with contracts extending through 2029 and 2030 and a total anticipated expenditure of $580,000. Policy discussions included the need for transparency and community input on program changes, particularly concerning the dual immersion program at Stevens Middle School. The meeting featured student recognitions and reports on academic progress, but the primary procurement focus was on contract approvals and budget allocations for educational and support services.
