Votes at a glance: New Haven Unified adopts Black History Month resolution, facilities contracts and program agreements
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting the board adopted resolutions recognizing Black History Month and authorizing trustee absence for illness, and approved contracts for a marquee at James Logan High School, several architectural and modernization agreements, a districtwide energy-efficiency/HVAC project with Log IQ Inc., and a memorandum of understanding with Eden Youth and Family Center.
The New Haven Unified School District board approved multiple resolutions and contract agreements at the Jan. 13 meeting. Key approvals included:
- Resolution 0412526 declaring February 2026 as Black History Month and encouraging appropriate instructional activities that honor and teach the contributions of African American communities. The resolution references California Education Code provisions and was adopted by motion and roll call.
- Resolution 0392526 authorizing a trustee’s absence from meetings due to illness (adopted by motion with an abstention recorded in the meeting sequence).
- Authorization (Resolution 0402526) for the purchase and installation of a marquee at James Logan High School; the board moved and adopted the resolution.
- Agreements with 19 6 Architects for architectural services for administration and band-room building improvements at the Bernard White campus, and a separate agreement with HED for architectural and engineering services for the James Logan High School pavilion modernization; both were moved, seconded and passed.
- Approval of a districtwide energy-efficiency and HVAC modernization agreement with Log IQ Inc., passed by motion.
- Approval of a memorandum of understanding with Eden Youth and Family Center for 2025–26.
Several routine consent-agenda items (14a–14u) were approved by roll call during the meeting as well.
Why it matters: these items move facilities and program work forward, enabling planned modernization, campus signage improvements and partner service delivery. The Black History Month resolution affirms curricular guidance and encourages local instructional activity.
What’s next: staff will finalize contracts, begin procurement or implementation steps for approved projects, and post the adopted resolutions and consent-agenda details in the board’s public minutes. The transcript records these approvals by motion and roll call; it does not always record a full itemized roll-call mapping to each named trustee for every vote.
