Summary
Trustees approved a series of agreements and construction‑related amendments, including a drone company for CHS graduation, inspector-of-record services for a Measure Q project, curriculum and summer‑program vendors, and a DSA‑related change order (approx. $177,000) for site footings; motions passed by voice votes, typically 5–0.
The Calexico Unified School District board approved a set of contracts and facilities actions on April 23, voting unanimously on items that ranged from graduation services to construction amendments.
Key approvals included: - Agreement with Skyworks Drone Show Inc. to provide a drone show for Calexico High School's 2026 graduation ceremony (approved 5–0). - Agreement with Precision Inspections Inc. for inspector‑of‑record services on the Measure Q Phase 2 climate‑tech project at Calexico High School (approved 5–0). - Textbook and digital-license agreement with Bedford, Freeman and Worth for AP Psychology at Calexico High School (approved 5–0). - Professional development and support agreements for the 2026 Summer Algebra Academy (Amistad Associates and Dr. Blas Guerrero) and multiple vendors for Sparks summer camp (yoga, ballet, karate) (approved 5–0). - An agreement identified as "Magis School AI" for districtwide student data sharing (approved 5–0). - A second amendment to a facilities lease agreement with Balfe Beddie Construction LLC for Measure Q building additions, and a related potential change order tied to DSA-required deeper footings; trustees discussed the construction impacts and approved the change (approx. $177,000) by unanimous vote after noting excavation and soil removal increased costs.
Board members noted these actions follow standard procurement and contracting processes. The superintendent and trustees emphasized oversight on Measure Q work and public‑works compliance with DSA (Division of the State Architect) requirements.
All the contracts and amendments listed on the meeting agenda were approved by voice vote where recorded, typically 5–0. The board took no separate public‑comment period for these agenda items beyond the regular meeting process.
