Board of Education

The district's Special Services department is asking the board to approve an addition to its list of outside agencies it can hire during the 2026-2027 school year and the 2027 Extended School Year (summer) program. These outside providers, called Non-Public Agencies, would fill in when the district cannot hire staff for hard-to-fill jobs such as speech-language pathologists, and would also provide Independent Educational Evaluations and specialized services required by settlement agreements. A yes vote would let the district contract with three named agencies: Santa Cruz ABA, EVALsolution Psychology Corp., and Waltz Behavior Group.

The school district wants to replace the natural grass athletic field at Rolling Hills Middle School with a synthetic (artificial) turf field system. A yes vote adopts Resolution No. 26-27-03 and awards a $1,265,165.00 contract to FieldTurf USA Inc. to supply and install the turf, padding underlayment, drainage liner, infill, field markings, and related testing and warranty work, paid from the Measure M Bond Fund. The district would buy through an existing state purchasing arrangement, California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) Contract No. 4-26-08-1031, instead of advertising the job for competitive bids. The Superintendent or a designee would be authorized to sign the contract and related documents.
