During a recent government meeting, public concerns were raised regarding the traffic impact of the new Calaca Elementary School. Tim Hoteling, a local resident, expressed his apprehensions about the school's design, particularly the traffic flow for parents during drop-off and pick-up times. He noted that the layout resembles a commercial parking lot rather than a functional school environment, which could complicate the process for the more than 1,000 students expected to attend. Hoteling highlighted that the current design allows for only about 80 cars, suggesting a need for reevaluation to better accommodate the anticipated traffic.

Following the public comment, the board moved on to adopt a new policy regarding owner direct purchasing and change orders. The motion was unanimously approved, indicating a collective agreement among board members on the necessity of this policy change.

The meeting also included a consent agenda, where several items were discussed. Board members had the opportunity to pull specific items for further consideration, but the majority of the agenda was approved without issue. The meeting concluded with a unanimous vote on the consent agenda, reflecting a collaborative approach among the board members.
