Summary

The San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees on Dec. 11 certified the district's 2025'26 First Interim financial report and approved multiple facilities and procurement actions intended to advance current modernization projects.
Stephen Dickinson, Associate Superintendent of Business Services, introduced a DLR Group presentation on the district's Facilities Master Plan and presented the First Interim Financial Report. The Board voted to certify and approve the First Interim report by motion of Trustee Jane Lea Smith, seconded by Trustee Rimga Viskanta; the motion carried with all five trustees voting yes.
On construction matters, the Board approved a deductive change order to the Erickson‑Hall Construction Company contract that reduced Phase 2 (Canyon Crest Academy Black Box Theater Modernization and Nutrition Services HVAC Improvement) by $100,000 and revised the Phase 2 Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) to $4,217,320. The Board authorized reallocating the deducted $100,000 to Phase 1 (Oak Crest Middle School Crest Hall Modernization) to fund additional HVAC scope and authorized Dickinson to execute the necessary documents. The motion carried unanimously.
The Board also approved extending the program and construction management agreement with SchneiderCM to support Facilities Planning & Construction and approved the Final GMP for Phase 2B (San Dieguito High School Academy locker room modernization). Both measures were approved unanimously.
The Board adopted Resolution R2025‑2026/28 authorizing a piggyback purchase under NASPO Contract CCAVP231 with Lenovo for computer equipment; the resolution was moved by Trustee Smith and seconded by Trustee Viskanta and carried unanimously.
