Board approves appointment, calendar and lease-leaseback actions, acknowledges counselors’ contract proposal
Summary
Trustees approved the personnel commission appointee and the 2026–27 school calendar, acknowledged the Simi Valley Counselors Association proposal and moved forward on a lease-leaseback agreement (Balfour Beatty identified in the RFP history) for a new MPR at Simi Valley High School.
The Simi Valley Unified School District board took several administrative and business actions at its meeting.
Appointments and calendar: The board approved the board’s appointee to the personnel commission, Sandy Hannon, following a public hearing on the nomination. Trustees also approved the district’s proposed 2026–27 school calendar. Those motions were moved, seconded and approved by roll-call votes.
Labor relations: The board acknowledged receipt of the Simi Valley Counselors Association (SVCA) district joint contract opener proposal for the 2025–26 school year; the acknowledgment moves the proposal onto the district’s labor processes.
Capital projects: Under business and facilities the board discussed a lease-leaseback and the district’s request for a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the new MPR/classroom building project at Simi Valley High School. District staff reviewed the RFP history for the Royal High modernization projects and the Simi Valley High MPR; Balfour Beatty Construction LLC was identified in the information item as the firm that received the highest score in the district’s prior procurement and was therefore the recommended/previously approved lease-leaseback contractor. The board took the matter up as an action item during the meeting and the motion passed.
Votes at a glance: The meeting records show roll-call approvals for the agenda and for consent and action items discussed (recorded votes were "Aye" by the trustees called). Specific recorded votes include roll-call acknowledgment of Trustee Pietro Longo, Trustee Resnick, Clerk Gibran (identified in roll-call) and President Smolin voting "Aye" on multiple items.
What’s next: Items on the information calendar (first readings of multiple revised policies and regulations, developer-fee reports and RFP background) will return for future board action as required by policy. The board also announced a special facilities and bond workshop and the next regular meeting.
