Board approves second reading of policy on education for homeless children and renews staff signature authorizations
Summary
At its June 10 meeting the San Marino Unified School District Board adopted board policy 6173 (education for homeless children) on second reading and approved the annual certification of signatures that authorizes certain staff to sign contracts and warrants within prescribed limits.
The San Marino Unified School District Board of Education voted June 10 to approve the second reading and adopt Board Policy 6173, Education for Homeless Children. Dr. Nina Richter presented the policy; after a motion and second the board approved the recommendation by roll call.
Immediately afterward the board approved the 2025–26 certification of signatures, a routine annual authorization that sets signing limits for school site principals and cabinet members for contracts and warrants. Dr. Stephen Choi said the certification enables operational efficiency while retaining existing procurement and oversight protocols; he described the form and noted that established purchasing procedures, requisitions and funding‑string reviews remain in place.
The roll call recorded unanimous support for both measures. The certification of signatures authorizes site principals and assistant principals to sign certain contracts (up to $5,000) and delegates broader signing authority to cabinet members and specified administrators for routine warrants and purchase orders; specific limits remain subject to district procurement rules and applicable law.
