# CJUSD Community Cabinet - November 4, 2026

The Colton Joint Unified School District Community Cabinet meeting on November 4, 2026, focused on district priorities, school facilities, arts education, community schools, and local history. Facilities Director Owen Chang reported completed, ongoing, and planned capital projects funded through district bond resources. Completed work at Terraceview Elementary represented a $2.5 million investment. Grand Terrace High School has more than $20 million in improvements under construction, scheduled for completion in July 2027. Other projects include campus improvements at Colton High School, a new permanent classroom building and safety upgrades at Smith Elementary, and planned music facilities at Colton High School. The district is pursuing $6 million in state matching grant funding for each of two career-technical education projects: a 14,000-plus-square-foot automotive technology and engineering building at Bloomington High School, and an approximately 15,000-square-foot architectural engineering and construction addition at Grand Terrace High School. The superintendent also referenced the community-approved bond, which received 68.5% support. No contract awards, vendor selections, or procurement-related votes were reported.

Other discussion covered the district’s Vision 2030 learning profile and artificial intelligence as an emerging priority, visual and performing arts programs supported by California’s Proposition 28, and community-school grant planning with feedback from families and community members. The community-schools presentation described collaborative, site-level decision-making and invited input on student supports, family engagement, and expanded learning opportunities. No specific purchasing decisions or contract actions were identified in these discussions.
