The San Bernardino City Unified School District Board of Education held a meeting on August 4, 2026, focusing on various district updates and community concerns. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a lease and lease-back pre-construction services agreement with Ericson Hall Construction for the Pakam Pakaman Center Health Clinic and other projects, with board members addressing design changes to enrollment areas to improve confidentiality and supervision.
