Board approves PQ Bids platform, CSSPs and multiple contracts; expulsion votes include one 5–2 decision
Summary
At the meeting the board approved a PQ Bids prequalification platform, the district’s comprehensive school safety plans, several vendor and facilities contracts, and three student expulsions; most votes were unanimous, while one expulsion (C‑21) passed 5–2 with Trustees Donald Donaire and Frank Silva dissenting.
Stockton — The Stockton Unified School District board took a range of routine but consequential actions Tuesday, approving a contractor prequalification platform, annual school safety plans, multiple facilities contracts and three student expulsions.
Key votes:
- PQ Bids prequalification platform (Item 6.57): Approved unanimously. District staff said PQ Bids will be used to prequalify contractors for projects over $1,000,000 and for mechanical, electrical and plumbing trades; contractors not listed will be ineligible to bid on qualifying projects.
- Comprehensive School Safety Plans (CSSP) (Item 11.2): Approved unanimously. Anthony Ricks, director of emergency preparedness and response, told the board that school CSSPs submitted for 2025–26 met state and district standards and that annual approval is required by California Education Code; the board carried the motion by roll call.
- Facilities and procurement approvals: The board approved an architectural agreement to remodel the Dale Fleming Building, awarded RFP 25003 to MGT for network switch upgrades at 25 sites, approved office‑furniture purchasing through OMNIA with Campbell Keller Environments, and authorized other routine contracts and surplus vehicle disposals (all unanimous roll calls).
- Student expulsions (Items 15.1–15.3): The board approved expulsions C‑15 and C‑17 (unanimous roll calls). Expulsion C‑21 passed 5–2; trustees Donald Donaire and Frank Silva voted no.
Why it matters: Approvals for prequalification software and network upgrades shape how the district procures services and maintains infrastructure; expulsions are formal disciplinary outcomes with direct impact on students and families.
What’s next: Contracts will move to implementation; PQ Bids will be used in prequalification processes for large bond‑funded projects where applicable.
