CH-UH Board of Education Work Session - May 19, 2026

The CH-UH Board of Education held a work session on May 19, 2026, during which they discussed several personnel and policy matters, including the approval of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Educational Administrative and Professional Staff Counseling Council. This MOU involved title changes and position eliminations but maintained contract days and step levels, requiring board approval to amend the existing collective bargaining agreement. Additionally, the board received a detailed presentation on transportation services, focusing on cost analyses and potential efficiencies. The discussion highlighted significant expenses related to intra-district transportation, McKinney-Vento provisions for homeless students, and out-of-district placements, with proposals to reduce costs by utilizing district-owned vans, collaborating with other districts for shared services, and implementing parental contracts or bus passes. The board considered these strategies as part of a five-year forecast to manage rising transportation costs effectively. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were mentioned, but the session emphasized budgetary considerations and operational improvements in transportation services.
