Paramount USD Board Meeting 8-5-2026

The Paramount Unified School District Board held a meeting on August 5, 2026, focusing primarily on updates and decisions related to the Paramount High School reunification plan and associated facilities master plan projects. The board discussed the construction timeline for phase one and phase two of the reunification, including the addition of 149 new parking stalls and the potential postponement of reunification from August 2027 to August 2028 to allow completion of parking facilities. Various options for the future use of the West Campus and adult school property were considered, including leasing or selling the adult school property and expanding community resource centers. The board also reviewed proposals for district-wide marquee replacements, with estimated costs and a potential phased implementation over five years. After deliberation, the board agreed to proceed with the reunification in August 2027, pursue option three for the West Campus involving leasing or selling the adult school property, and expressed support for the marquee replacement project. The discussion included considerations of enrollment trends, parking logistics, construction impacts, and potential future housing initiatives for families and students. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed, but the board indicated intent to prepare request for proposal paperwork for the marquee project.
