Gilroy board approves facilities contracts, material purchases and several personnel actions
Summary
At its May 8 meeting the Gilroy Unified board approved grouped facilities contracts and procurement items (ovens, paging systems, roofing materials and safety infrastructure), amended service agreements for billing, and reported closed‑session discipline actions including a settlement and expulsions.
Trustees on May 8 approved a batch of facilities and procurement items, staff services and several routine actions during the regular board meeting.
Facilities and maintenance staff presented multiple awards and purchase requests to be funded from Measure E or district operating funds, including a low bid for replacement ovens (award not to exceed $844,498), a paging system replacement at Los Animas Elementary (board packet figure ~$188,270.96), and an emergency radio‑antenna replacement for Gilroy Prep’s gym (quoted not to exceed $7,357.80). The board also approved procurement of roofing materials for Christopher High School’s summer roofing project, industrial‑hygiene oversight for a demolition project, and other work described in the facilities packet. Staff said timeline targets aim for summer installation to be completed before students return in August when feasible.
On student discipline and legal matters, the board reported actions taken in closed session: the unanimous approval of a settlement agreement in case number 2025‑26 and votes on removal/suspension/expulsion cases (cases 2025‑33 and 2025‑34). The public report described motions to expel and to suspend expulsion where applicable; the board president read the actions and announced the motions passed.
Other consent and action items approved at the meeting included renewal of instructional materials for 2025‑26, an amendment to Paradigm Health Services to support LEA billing for mental‑health services provided in district wellness centers, and the multi‑year AVID contract to sustain middle‑school AVID electives.
Attribution: Facility and maintenance presenters, and student services staff, presented contract details in the meeting record. Contract amounts and vendor names are taken from the board packet as read aloud at the May 8 meeting; a small number of transcript lines contained typographical errors, and the posted packet should be consulted for final contract language and exact dollar figures.
