# October 27, 2026 School Board Regular Meeting part 3

At the October 27, 2026 regular meeting of the Barstow Unified School District Board, trustees discussed a proposal whose rationale and grade-level focus were unclear; a motion to table it pending more information was made and seconded. The board also approved certificated management personnel for the 2026–27 school year, although the recorded vote count is unclear in the transcript. A proposed Central High School course, Personal Empowerment and Resilience, was presented as an information item only. Staff described it as support for referred students facing attendance, credit-completion, or engagement challenges, intended to contribute to the school’s effort to exit CSI status.

The board held a public hearing on educator internship permits and considered permit submissions to address staffing needs. Staff said the district was actively recruiting and that four special education teachers were being considered; one candidate, Harold Green, was moving from a paraprofessional role into teaching. The board approved certificated contract personnel for 2026–27. No contracts, vendor selections, purchases, or budget allocations were identified in the transcript.
