CUSD BOARD MEETING 8-5-26

The Carlsbad Unified School District Board held a meeting on August 5, 2026, where a key agenda item was the consideration of a resolution urging the University of California to reinstate standardized testing (SAT/ACT) for admissions. The discussion focused on student preparedness, disparities in access to test preparation resources, and the impact of standardized tests on college readiness. Board members debated the merits and drawbacks of the resolution, with some expressing concerns about equity and the limited impact on the majority of students. Ultimately, the motion to approve the resolution failed. Additionally, the board approved several policy revisions related to immigration enforcement, school facilities planning, ethics training, and conflict of interest codes, all passed unanimously. No direct procurement or contracting decisions were discussed during this meeting.
