ABC Unified board approves consent calendar, committee appointment and several contracts in unanimous votes
Summary
The ABC Unified School District board unanimously approved the consent calendar and three action items — an appointment to the citizen oversight committee, a contract for after‑school library/professional learning, and awards for nutrition services supplies — all by 7‑0 votes.
The ABC Unified School District board unanimously approved routine and single‑purpose items including the consent calendar, a citizen oversight committee appointment and three vendor awards during its meeting.
The board approved the consent calendar by voice vote; the chair said the motion passed 7‑0. Staff presented an administrative recommendation to fill a Category 6 vacancy on the Citizens Oversight Committee and said students drew the name of David Sanfuegos; the board appointed him for a two‑year term effective Aug. 21 by a 7‑0 vote.
The board also approved a contract with Scholars in Company to provide a diverse library and professional learning for ABC Excel Elementary’s after‑school program. Doctor Castro told the board the work is intended to support the district’s LCAP Goal 1 and said monitoring will include California Healthy Kids and parent surveys; the motion carried 7‑0.
Finally, the board approved awards for nutrition services paper products (ABC‑1659). Staff said they received four bids, disqualified one bidder that did not meet specifications, and recommended awards to the three lowest responsible bidders who met specs (Gold Star Foods; Imperial Bag and Paper Company; Platinum Packaging Group). Staff noted the contract is annual with an option to renew for two additional years and that pricing typically adjusts by CPI; the board approved the recommendation 7‑0.
Board members asked clarifying questions about bidder disqualification and about candidate bios for the oversight appointment; staff said they would share biographical information and follow up on procurement details as needed. No contested votes were recorded.
