Summary
At its annual organizational meeting, the Oxnard Unified School District governing board elected officers, approved the 2026 meeting calendar and unanimously passed routine items including acceptance of the HEA bargaining reopener and approval of the Measure C architect pool.
The Oxnard Unified School District governing board held its annual organizational meeting and elected its leadership before approving the 2026 meeting calendar and several consent items.
Daisy San Pablo was nominated and elected president in the organization procedure the board followed; Betsy Gomez was nominated and confirmed as clerk. The board completed the roll-call vote for the slate and congratulated the newly elected officers.
The board adopted a 2026 calendar that schedules most regular meetings on the fourth Monday of each month, with five meetings set for the second Monday to accommodate holidays and statutory reporting requirements. The calendar also includes a second meeting in June and schedule adjustments for Memorial Day and Thanksgiving weeks.
On routine matters, the board approved minutes from the Nov. 10, 2025 meeting and adopted the consent agenda without removals. The board also unanimously accepted the initial reopener bargaining proposal submitted by the teachers’ association for the 2025–26 negotiations and approved a prequalified pool of architectural service providers for Measure C bond projects. During discussion on the architect list, staff told the board that local business location could be used as one selection criterion but that specific project proposals would be evaluated for the best fit.
Roll-call tallies were recorded for each motion and in every recorded vote the board voted 5–0 to approve the measures on the agenda.
The board closed the open-session business and announced a closed session to begin at 7:11 p.m. to discuss labor negotiations and executive matters.
