All action items took place in open session with motions, seconds and roll call as recorded in the meeting transcript. Where the transcript records financial or grant amounts (for example, the $2,176,000 Imperial County Air Pollution Control Board award and the $5,700,000 community schools implementation grant cited separately), those numbers were reported by district staff during committee discussion.
What happens next: Staff will implement the approved contracts and return to the board where the items call for future reports or renewals (for example, the security contract review before Dec. 2025 and recruitment for grant‑funded positions).
