The San Marino Unified School District Board of Education on Sept. 9 approved an authorization allowing Assistant Principals Emily Hill and Samantha Pearson to sign school site contracts up to $5,000 and to approve Associated Student Body warrants.

Staff recommended the certification of signatures to improve site‑level contracting efficiency. The motion carried on a roll call vote with all trustees present voting in favor.

Why it matters: The authorization delegates limited signing authority to site leaders to streamline routine site purchases and ASB transactions while keeping dollar limits and board oversight intact.
