# PVPUSD BOE Regular Meeting 9-23-26 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

The PVPUSD Board of Education held a regular meeting on September 23, 2026, focusing heavily on procurement and capital improvement projects. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the authorization to solicit bids for the Peninsula Verdes Intermediate School (PVIS) artificial turf project. Public comments raised concerns about environmental, health, and safety impacts of artificial turf, including heat exposure, chemical risks, and microplastic pollution. Board members deliberated on the need for updated cost estimates, environmental impact assessments, and injury data before proceeding. A motion was passed to approve soliciting competitive bids for the turf project, with a directive to include comprehensive evaluations of environmental safety, cost, injury, and exposure rates in the staff report. Additionally, the board reviewed budget augmentation requests totaling $15.7 million for unforeseen infrastructure repairs at Peninsula High School and Miraleste, part of the Measure SOS bond program. The board approved these budget adjustments to address deteriorating plumbing, electrical, and seismic issues without reallocating funds from other projects. The meeting also included updates on ongoing construction projects, grant opportunities, and committee reports related to district facilities and technology use. No contract awards or labor negotiations actions were taken during this session, though labor negotiations were discussed in closed session with no reportable action.
