# OUSD School Board Meeting - November 12, 2026

At its regular Orange Unified School District Board of Education meeting on November 12, 2026, the board approved a proposed one-time Alevo partnership to provide 18 weeks of programming at seven elementary schools from January 11 through May 21. The program will give teachers a protected hour each week for professional learning team collaboration while students take part in physical education, structured activities, and social-emotional learning. Nine Alevo coaches, including at least three credentialed coaches, will staff the pilot; the contract’s dollar amount was not stated. The board also adopted the district’s initial proposals for 2026–27 negotiations with the Orange Unified Education Association and acknowledged receipt of the union’s proposals; the district proposal was adopted unanimously, with one trustee absent.

Other spending-related updates included $45,000 in teacher grants raised through fundraisers for school purchases such as iPads, reading and sensory materials, and a 3D printer; the superintendent also reported that the Orange Unified Public Schools Foundation was offering more than $50,000 in grants. The meeting’s district update described completed summer facility work—including asphalt, roofing, flooring, fencing, painting, athletic-facility improvements, digital marquees, and classroom learning walls—using board-approved funds, without specifying project costs or vendors. A student report also noted the purchase of laptops and carts for checkout at Canyon High School. No additional contract amounts or vendor selections were identified.
