Board approves settlement, bargaining proposals, playground contract and other items
Summary
Trustees voted to approve a special-education settlement (≤$14,000), adopt bargaining proposals for 2025–26, and award a $182,007.25 contract for playground equipment at King Elementary; multiple procurement and recognition items were also approved.
The Cypress School District Board of Trustees took several formal actions at its April 10 meeting, approving motions and voting on a series of routine and contract items.
Key votes and outcomes - Special-education settlement: The board approved entering into a settlement for case number 2024250010 for a total cost not to exceed $14,000. The motion was made, seconded and carried by voice vote.
- Resolutions of recognition: The board adopted Resolution No. 24-25-8 (Day of the Teacher) and Resolution No. 24-25-9 (Classified School Employee Week) and discussed showing appreciation year-round.
- Bargaining proposals: The board opened and closed public hearings and then accepted the Association of Cypress Teachers 2025–26 bargaining proposal and adopted the district’s bargaining proposal for 2025–26; both motions carried by voice vote during the meeting.
- Playground equipment at King Elementary: Trustees approved contracting with "Dave Bank Associates, Associates, Inc." for purchase and installation of playground equipment, removal of old equipment and rubber surfacing at King at a total cost of $182,007.25 and $0.44. Facilities staff said the project is part of a multi-year refresh plan based on a playground-rating analysis, and that the vendor was used under a CMAS contract; staff discussed what the contract covers and whether grants could reduce cost.
- Furniture procurement: The board authorized purchase of staff chairs for Landell through a San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools piggyback bid (2324-0005) for a cost not to exceed $35,000.
Votes at the meeting were recorded by voice; no opposed votes were announced. Several items included brief trustee questions (for example, about playground refresh cycles, CMAS discounts and whether grant opportunities were being pursued).
