# WCCUSD Board of Education Meeting - Oct 21, 2026

The West Contra Costa Unified School District Board of Education meeting, identified in the title as October 21, 2026, included a presentation on the district’s parcel tax, staffing and recruitment, student performance, and school safety. The superintendent said the existing parcel tax—about $10.2 million annually and unchanged since 2004—will be on the November 3 ballot and is scheduled to sunset in June 2027. Revenue supports libraries, athletics, counseling, core academics, and teacher recruitment. The board also heard that teacher-residency programs receive $40,000 per resident, including tuition and living-wage support, mentor stipends, and administration and professional development; the district provides a $20,000 match per resident through LCAP, Title II, and university-partner funding. No contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were identified. A future ELA curriculum adoption was discussed, but no purchasing action was taken.

The board approved Resolution 2627-31 recognizing October as AAC Awareness Month and approved the revised campus safety specialist job description. It also approved a change to playground-supervisor staffing, discussed as a minimum of two supervisors at lower-enrollment campuses; the consent-item title refers to a four-hour minimum per site. Public commenters requested overdue safety equipment at Cameron Early Intervention School, resurfacing at Shannon Elementary, and stronger special-education transportation safeguards, but no related spending decisions were made. The board discussed making annual school accountability report-card review optional in policy, with revised language to return for a later reading; this was not a final policy vote.
