# Planning Commission Meeting

Despite the metadata title “Planning Commission Meeting,” the transcript is of a Simi Valley Unified School District Board candidates forum held at Simi Valley City Hall on October 6, 2026. Candidates for Trustee Areas D and E discussed campus safety, student support, achievement, staffing, and district finances. On spending and facilities, candidates raised declining enrollment and potential budget shortfalls; proposed protecting student-facing services and reviewing administrative costs, contracts, facilities, and programs before considering staff reductions. They also cited aging school infrastructure, a need for better asset tracking and maintenance planning, and possible air-conditioning work at Royal High School. Campus safety discussion included possible additional school resource officer funding, access controls, cameras, and technology, including AI-assisted monitoring.
