Oak Grove board approves consent agenda, committee assignments and special‑education transportation contracts; accepts audit presentation
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda, confirmed 2026 committee assignments and voted to award multiple special‑education transportation contracts after staff explained an RFP; external auditors reported a clean opinion on the 2024–25 financial statements and Measure P bond program.
Oak Grove School District trustees on Jan. 15 approved the consent agenda and multiple action items, including committee appointments and contractor awards for special‑education transportation, and heard that external auditors issued a clean opinion on the district’s fiscal‑year financial statements.
Superintendent Chaitas presented the consent agenda and the board moved and approved it by roll call. The clerk conducted roll‑call votes with members recorded as voting "Aye." The superintendent also acknowledged several donations to support families, including Foodmax gift cards, cash gifts and donated toys.
The board then considered updates to 2026 board committee assignments. After a brief discussion and chair appointments to committees such as the County Committee on School District Organization, the Santa Clara County School Boards Association and the safety and security committee, a motion to approve the assignments passed by roll call.
Associate Superintendent Mark Evans presented a request for proposals outcome for contracted special‑education transportation. Evans explained that the district selected multiple vendors to meet different levels of need: Safetrans (multi‑student buses), Yellow Cab (higher‑needs continuity at a higher price point), EverDriven (competitive for smaller routes) and Hop, Skip, and Drive (wheelchair accessibility; contract still being finalized). The board moved the item out of consent for clarification and then approved the contract awards by roll call.
External auditor Nathan from Eide Beiley presented results for the year ended June 30, 2025. Nathan said the audit yielded an unmodified (clean) opinion on the district financial statements, the Measure P bond program, and federal and state compliance testing; he reported no internal control deficiencies and no compliance findings.
The meeting included no closed‑session actions and concluded with routine correspondence and reports from trustees before adjourning at 8:33 p.m.
