LASD Board Meeting - 9/28/26

The Los Altos School District Board met on September 28, 2026. The main procurement-related discussion covered Measure E and Measure N capital improvements. Staff reported that work at the San Antonio campus is on schedule and on budget, with demolition and site utility work underway and steel expected to begin around January 15. The broader bond program was described as approximately $385 million, including $350 million in Measure E funds plus remaining TDR funds, lease revenue, and Measure N funds. Staff outlined possible smaller “quick start” projects—such as pavement repairs, painting, landscaping, and school signage—to make improvements at campuses while larger modernization projects are in planning and design. No project awards or spending approvals were made at this meeting.

Staff said architects have begun planning and site assessments for multiple campuses, with design and DSA review to follow; early procurement of long-lead items such as HVAC equipment and lighting will be important. Staff plans to return in November with a proposed project list and budget information, with some work potentially bid in spring for summer 2027 construction. Board members offered input on maintenance funding for landscaping and consistent district signage. The agenda and consent calendar passed unanimously; these votes did not include a specific procurement decision.
