# Pajaro Valley Unified School District - State of the District 10/09/2026

Pajaro Valley Unified School District’s State of the District address, held October 9, 2026, reviewed district finances, student outcomes, and leadership transition. The superintendent reported a $374 million budget and management of the $315 million Measure M bond. The bond’s marquee project is a performing arts center at Pajaro Valley High School, with groundbreaking expected soon; converted portable classrooms are serving as interim performance and practice space. No contract awards, vendor selections, bid approvals, or procurement-related votes were identified.

The address also noted difficult budget reductions amid declining enrollment, anticipated school reorganization and closures, and ongoing investments in professional learning, reading instruction, and a new math program. The board’s stated priorities include third-grade reading, eighth-grade math, student supports, and community input. These priorities and the planned facilities project may guide future spending, but no specific new allocation or purchasing action was presented.
