LBUSD Board Meeting (11/13/2025)

The Los Banos Unified School District Board held a regular meeting on November 13, 2025, where several procurement and capital improvement projects were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included the unanimous approval of a $346,195 contract award to TBS Contractors for the RME restroom project, and the approval of a proposal from Park Planet for shade structures as part of the Los Banos High School modernization. Additionally, the board approved the purchase of a new 2025 Bluebird bus to support the growing special needs transportation program. The meeting also covered updates on ongoing construction projects such as the Early Education Center, Los Junior High School modernization, and the new administration building, with bids coming in below budget allowing for additional project features to be retained. The board declared intent to adopt new Career Technical Education (CTE) digital media arts courses funded by Proposition 28, which also supports new arts-related personnel and facility upgrades. Discussions included budget considerations, project timelines, and the importance of maintaining state-of-the-art facilities to support educational goals. No votes were taken on policy changes affecting procurement, but the meeting reflected active capital planning and spending to enhance district infrastructure and educational programs.
