Note: The available transcript covers agenda items 12c onward. Earlier items from the meeting are not reflected in this edition. All six votes taken during the captured portion passed by voice vote without opposition; individual member votes were not recorded.

The Pacifica School Board moved through a brisk agenda March 11, adopting heritage resolutions, renewing fiscal oversight committees, and approving a state-required transportation plan — but the meeting's most consequential moment came at the end, when Superintendent Dr. Carisa Bowman signaled that the bond spending plan voters approved in May 2024 has yet to be developed, with a school field and workforce housing among the priorities on deck.

• Bond spending plan still undeveloped nearly a year after voters passed Measures O and G; superintendent outlines next steps including IBL school field and workforce housing

• Oversight committee vacancies raise governance concerns as business, senior citizen, and taxpayer seats remain unfilled on the Bond Oversight Committee heading into annual report season

• Parcel Tax Oversight Committee renewed with zero new applicants, signaling community engagement challenges across multiple school sites

• 2026 Transportation Plan approved, securing state funding for SamTrans passes serving homeless, disabled, and low-income students

• Three heritage resolutions adopted recognizing Women's History Month, Irish American Heritage Month, and Cesar Chavez Day, all tied to Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) equity commitments
