# Central Unified Board of Trustees Meeting October 13 , 2026

The Central Unified School District Board of Trustees meeting was held October 13, 2026. The board approved change orders for the Justin Garza High School visual and performing arts project, including increases of about $37,000 and $5,000 and a decrease of about $15,000; the architect described the work as omissions and contractor repairs. The board also approved an engineering services agreement related to the Hinton/Kearney well deficiency, after trustees raised concerns about the long-running drinking-water issue; the agreement amount was not stated. A plaque recognizing a student’s role in renaming Central Elementary was approved in concept, with a financial proposal, examples, and placement details to return October 27; trustees cited an estimated plaque cost of $2,000–$3,000.

Several spending items were presented for future board action rather than approved at this meeting. These included about $538,169 in proposed deferred-maintenance projects for flooring, a PA system, and tennis-court work; replacement CNG fuel tanks for six buses, estimated in the transcript at approximately $159,000; and a one-year renewal of the Lightspeed web-filtering service for $118,200.20. The district also presented a completed Hinton/Kearney parking-lot project change order, described as bringing the project to about 7% above its original amount, with no total cost stated. The board approved out-of-state CTE conference travel to be funded by a Perkins grant, approved labor-negotiation reopeners, and adopted a resolution authorizing applications to state school-facility programs.
