Board Meeting - 6/11/26 - Open Session

The Lake Tahoe Unified School District Board held an open session meeting on June 11, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. Key procurement actions included the approval of two memorandums of understanding (MOUs): one with Azusa Unified School District to support bilingual teacher credentialing through coursework and exam fee reimbursements, and another with California State University East Bay to pair student teachers with mentor teachers in the district to aid in teacher recruitment and development. The board also approved appointments to the Tahoe Alpine Special Education Local Plan Area Community Advisory Committee, with discussion about the selection criteria and representation. Additionally, the board reviewed and held a public hearing on the proposed 2026-27 district budget, noting a 2.87% cost-of-living adjustment and ongoing deficit spending concerns due to declining enrollment. The meeting included an informational presentation on a proposed district-wide cell phone use policy aimed at reducing distractions and promoting digital health, with plans for further discussion and action in future meetings. Motions were passed to approve the MOUs, the CAC appointments (with direction to consider additional members), the budget, and a resolution declaring an upcoming election. The board also postponed action on a remuneration policy pending further legal review.
