Robla board approves travel, contracts, safety plan and personnel changes in unanimous votes
Summary
At the meeting trustees unanimously approved the consent agenda and a set of action items including out‑of‑state travel, vendor contracts for thermostats and roofing, professional development for preschool staff, an increase in substitute services, a new classified food service position and the district comprehensive safety plan.
The Robla School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved a slate of consent and action items Wednesday, including out‑of‑state travel, vendor contracts, personnel changes and the district’s 2024‑25 comprehensive school safety plan.
Board members voted unanimously to approve: out‑of‑state travel requests (transportation staff and two trustees to a national advocacy conference); election of the district’s CSBA delegate assembly representatives; a contract with Lawson SSP Group to replace thermostats at district preschools; a professional development contract for preschool staff focused on trauma response and resilience; addition of alarm protection for the new preschool office/classroom building; a set of revised policies and exhibits; an increase to the district’s substitute‑staff service agreement; the addition of a 4‑hour classified food service assistant position at Glenwood; a roofing contract for Taylor Elementary classroom wing 2; and the district’s 2024‑25 comprehensive school safety plan.
Motions were moved and seconded on the record; all votes carried unanimously with no recorded abstentions or opposing votes. The board recorded approval of the safety plan and several vendor contracts that facilities and food services staff said they will implement over the coming months.
Action list (summary of items approved):
- Out‑of‑state travel requests for district transportation staff and two trustees for professional development/advocacy — approved unanimously. - Election of five candidates to the California School Boards Association delegate assembly — trustees cast votes for five candidates; item approved unanimously. - Lawson SSP Group contract to replace Pelican TC‑3/TC‑1 thermostats at preschool sites (16 thermostats) — approved unanimously; installation planned districtwide. - Professional development contract with Center for Optimal Brain Integration: preschool trauma‑response and resilience training for March PD day — approved unanimously. - Contract with security alarm vendor to add protection for new preschool office/classroom building (separate system from Bell Avenue) — approved unanimously. - Revised policies and exhibits (follow‑up to January first read; CSBA‑driven updates required by law) — approved unanimously. - Increase to the 2024‑25 service agreement with Scoot Education for substitute staff to cover long‑term leaves — approved unanimously. - Addition of one 4‑hour classified food service assistant position at Glenwood to meet meal service needs — approved unanimously. - Contract with Bart Roofing Company for roof replacement at Taylor Elementary classroom wing 2 (work planned for summer) — approved unanimously. - Approval of the 2024‑25 Comprehensive School Safety Plan (annual required update per Education Code) — approved unanimously.
Why it matters: The votes advance planned facilities, safety, staffing and food service work for the district and authorize staff to continue vendor and implementation steps; most transactions are operational and were presented with staff recommendations.
What comes next: Contracts and purchases will proceed as scheduled (thermostat replacements, roofing over the summer, alarm installation); staff will implement preschool professional development and increase substitute coverage as needed. The superintendent’s office and department directors will manage implementation and report back to the board as required.
