LASD Board Meeting - August 17, 2026

The Los Altos School District Board meeting on August 17, 2026, focused heavily on procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included the approval of multiple architectural services agreements for modernization projects at Oak, Almond, Sanorita, Block, and Eden schools, with all motions passing unanimously. These agreements are part of the district's capital improvement efforts funded by Measure N and Measure E bonds. The board also approved an amendment to the funding and regulatory agreement related to the Acacia workforce teacher housing project, allowing the district to receive $900,000 reimbursement and broaden tenant eligibility while retaining six units for staff. Additionally, the board discussed the financial impact of charter school enrollment on the district's budget, highlighting a $2 million annual transfer to charter schools due to out-of-district students, and considered renewing the facilities use agreement with the charter school for the 2027-28 school year. A resolution was passed to transition from at-large to trustee area elections by 2028 to comply with the California Voting Rights Act, with a revised timeline for public engagement and map development. The meeting also included updates on school facilities maintenance, staffing, and the start of the school year, but no other procurement actions were taken.
