Measure GSchool Board48d agoMarch 11, 2026

District Unlocks $30M in Bond Funds, Identifies Path to Fund $6.8M IBL Field

Board authorized $30M in new Measure G bonds and approved a $1M refinancing savings while bond manager CC Meng outlined a plan to fund the long-sought IBL field replacement.

Why it matters: The IBL field replacement has been requested for years and students report frequent injuries; Measure G's $6.8M plan repurposes savings from unused Vallemar portables to make it possible.

Ortega PTO Spends $127K Filling Gaps in Art, Garden Science and Campus Safety

Ortega PTO reported $114K in annual fundraising supporting art instruction, garden science, PBIS specialists, and campus improvements the district cannot fund.

Why it matters: Parent groups are spending six figures annually on enrichment programs and infrastructure maintenance that would otherwise not exist, highlighting the district's resource constraints.

Board Cuts IBL Assistant Principal Over Community Outcry, Saves Cabrillo VP

Board adopted a modified layoff resolution eliminating one IBL assistant principal and other certificated positions despite passionate opposition from teachers, parents and staff.

Why it matters: IBL is the district's only comprehensive middle school with 650 students and the highest special education population; community argues the cut undermines student safety, equity, and LCAP goals.

District Budget Certified as 'Qualified' With $375K More in Cuts Needed, FCMAT Review Imminent

The second interim report shows persistent deficit spending requiring an additional $375K–$450K in unidentified cuts, triggering county oversight and an FCMAT fiscal review.

Why it matters: A qualified certification is one step from negative, which could lead to state takeover; the Measure EE parcel tax worth nearly $1M annually expires next year unless voters renew it.

Unions Blast District Over 253-Day Contract Impasse and Growing District Office Staffing

LSEA and CSEA criticized the district for hiring administrators while cutting school-site staff, with classified workers marking 253 days without a contract or salary counteroffer.

Why it matters: Classified staff wages rank at the bottom of neighboring districts despite passage of Measure EE parcel tax, while the district has not made a salary counteroffer in over eight months.

Bond Spending PlanSchool Board48d agoMarch 11, 2026

Superintendent Signals Bond Spending Plan, IBL Field, and Workforce Housing Coming Soon

The superintendent previewed upcoming items including a bond priority list, the IBL school field request, workforce housing, and a funding equity task force update.

Why it matters: The bond spending plan remains undeveloped despite voter approval in 2024; upcoming prioritization decisions will shape major capital investments across the district.

Transportation Plan 2026School Board48d agoMarch 11, 2026

Board Approves Required Transportation Plan Targeting Vulnerable Students

The board approved the 2026 transportation plan required for state funding, providing SamTrans passes to homeless, disabled, and low-income students.

Why it matters: Without this plan the district would lose state apportionments under Ed Code section 39800.1; it ensures transportation access for the most vulnerable student populations.

Bond Oversight CommitteeSchool Board48d agoMarch 11, 2026

Oversight Committees Reappointed Despite Persistent Vacancies at Key Seats

The board appointed members to bond and parcel tax oversight committees but faces ongoing vacancies in business, senior citizen, and taxpayer seats plus several schools.

Why it matters: With a new bond measure passed in May 2024, the committees must meet soon to deliver overdue annual reports to the board, and unfilled seats could undermine public confidence in fiscal oversight.
