Summary

Maintenance director Matt Vargas presented the district’s five‑year Williams (FIT) comparison showing average scores near 97%; the board accepted the 2025–26 FIT report and Hunt Elementary won the annual FIT improvement award.

The Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District board accepted the 2025–26 Williams (FIT) facilities report at its Dec. 8 meeting after a presentation from Maintenance Director Matt Vargas.

Vargas said the district’s five‑year comparison shows FIT scores averaging about 97%, reflecting consistent maintenance and custodial work across sites. He described Williams requirements as focusing on ongoing maintenance during the school year rather than one-off fixes at inspection time and praised custodial and maintenance staff for the results (SEG 747-776).

Hunt Elementary received the FIT award for most improved facility score from the previous year, with a 1.71% improvement, and district custodians and staff at Hunt were recognized (SEG 792-804). Vargas also highlighted individual staff, including lead custodian Joel Velez and new night custodian Francisco Diaz, and recognized Anthony Orozco’s transition from custodian to special-education teacher.

The board moved to accept the FIT report; the motion was seconded and the report was approved by roll-call vote (motion and second SEG 847-853; ayes SEG 855-864).

What happens next: Acceptance of the FIT report closes the current-year facilities review cycle; recognition of Hunt Elementary will be recorded and the award plaque will be displayed at the school. Any facility work or budgeted capital projects mentioned as part of ongoing maintenance would appear in future agenda items if additional funding or contracts are required.
