MVUSD Regular Board Meeting Board of Education 8/25/26

The Moreno Valley Unified School District held its regular Board of Education meeting on August 25, 2026. The meeting included several procurement-related discussions and approvals, notably the submission of applications for six Career Technical Education (CTE) facilities projects across the district, including programs in managerial arts, childhood development, barbering, pharmacy tech, residential and commercial construction, and public safety. The board approved resolutions authorizing these applications and other financial actions such as authorizing wire transfer payments to vendors and enabling the Riverside County Office of Education to process retirement reporting and employer-paid member contributions for CalSTRS. Additionally, the board discussed budget updates reflecting state funding increases, including a significant $11 million increase for special education, and deliberated on reserve policy adjustments, ultimately failing to approve a proposed increase in reserve targets. The meeting also addressed human resources policy updates related to employment background checks and professional boundaries, as well as the approval of policies on student discipline and behavioral interventions for special education students. Public comments and board discussions highlighted concerns about classroom resources, special education support, and mentoring programs, with plans to review mentoring vendor contracts in upcoming meetings. Overall, the meeting focused on budget management, capital improvement project applications, policy updates, and community engagement initiatives affecting procurement and district operations.
