9/15/26 Regular Meeting of the Board of Trustees

The Western Placer Unified School District Board of Trustees held a regular meeting on September 15, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of resolutions for the acquisition of two properties adjacent to Lincoln High School and Phoenix High School, with purchase prices of $500,000 and $300,000 respectively. These acquisitions are intended for long-term district expansion and to avoid eminent domain proceedings. The board also adopted a new school facilities needs analysis fee of $7.91 per square foot for new residential construction outside the district boundaries. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved the 2025-26 unaudited actuals, which included budget adjustments such as a $250,000 transfer from wetlands reserve funds to support district operations, with discussion about potentially restoring these funds in the future. Other financial topics included updates on the district's budget, special education funding increases, and the district's economic uncertainty reserve. The board also discussed and voted on policies related to board member authority, ultimately not passing a motion to revise the bylaw clarifying individual board member limitations. Several motions related to budget approvals and property acquisitions were passed by unanimous roll call votes.
