Newman-Crows Landing board names Don Cabral president, re-elects clerk and sets 2026 calendar

The Newman-Crows Landing Unified School District board moved through its organizational agenda Dec. 8, approving the district’s 2026 meeting calendar, electing board officers and designating committee representatives and authorized signers.

Trustees discussed the proposed 2026 calendar and a possible October scheduling change tied to a potential school holiday; board member Wach (calendar committee) described a recommendation to move the holiday to the week after the board meeting to avoid missing instructional days (SEG 054-066). The board then approved the 2026 meeting schedule by roll-call vote.

Don Cabral was nominated and elected board president for the 2026–27 year (nomination SEG 097; second SEG 100; roll-call ayes recorded SEG 104-112). The board re‑nominated Frank to remain clerk of the board and approved that nomination (SEG 115-128). The board also moved to appoint the superintendent to serve as secretary of the governing board (SEG 160-172).

The trustees selected representatives for standing committees: two members for LCAP and members for the district’s 2+2 with the city; those assignments were moved and approved by roll call (SEG 173-219). The board approved the authorized district signers — president, clerk, superintendent and HR director/assistant superintendent — as part of organizational housekeeping (SEG 221-249).

Votes: The actions related to meeting-calendar approval, officer elections, committee appointments and authorized signers were all recorded as approved by roll call in the transcript; the meeting record shows trustees responding with verbal “Aye” confirmations during each roll call.

What happens next: The board will operate with the newly elected officers and committee assignments through the 2026 calendar it approved. Any substantive policy changes tied to those appointments would appear on future agendas.
