The Wiseburn Unified School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously on a slate of fiscal and construction items at its meeting, approving bond‑issuance documents for a new draw, multiple change orders and contracts for campus modernization and athletic field work, consultant agreements and a revision to a Chromebook purchase authorization.

The board adopted documents authorizing the next draw under the voter‑approved Measure EE general obligation bond program and a related resolution of intent. Jen Kim, financial advisor with Piper Sandler, told trustees the district is seeking approval for a $34,000,000 bond issuance as the next draw from the Measure EE authorization; she said the district previously drew $25,000,000 and that the voter‑approved authorization totaled $98,000,000. “This next bond issuance . . . is the $34,000,000 bond package,” Kim said, adding that, based on current market conditions, “the average interest rate . . . would be under about 5%.”

Board members asked questions about the rating and sale process; Kim and district staff described the multi‑phase issuance workflow (document drafting, credit rating, then marketing to investors) and said Moody’s would be used for a credit rating, following the district’s past practice. The board approved the resolutions related to the bond issuance by unanimous vote.

On construction and facilities items the board approved a change order to a campus modernization contract for flooring and ceiling tile work at Aviation Elementary and the middle school (project listed as change order number 1 to contract 2022‑23‑001), and awarded a bid for a baseball field improvement project at Del Aire and Da Vinci Connect (bid 202025‑04) to Corner Keystone Construction Corporation; trustees discussed construction timing, impacts to campus access and the 90‑day turf establishment/maintenance period for the new natural grass field. Trustees also approved a PK conversion and kindergarten classroom door project at Hollyland Elementary (bid 2025‑03) with Dependable Construction.

The board ratified a consultant agreement with Education Management Solutions, ratified a memorandum of contract with San Joaquin County Office of Education, and approved a master services agreement with Inclusive Learning Partners. The board also approved Christie White & Associates as the auditor for multiple fiscal years for the Measure CL2 joint program and approved a revision to the district’s Chromebook purchase authorization to add tax and shipping costs, which district staff said was an administrative correction to finalize the previously approved procurement.

All action items recorded in the meeting were carried by unanimous votes noted on the record. Several trustees thanked staff and partners for bid results, site work and community partnerships and asked staff to continue to provide updates on timeline contingencies and DSA approvals for concurrent projects.
