Yucaipa-Calimesa board approves series of contracts, facility and technology upgrades
Summary
On Aug. 13 the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District board unanimously approved routine contracts and multiple facility and technology upgrades — from door locks and interactive classroom displays to enrollment-forecasting services — and approved two HR resolutions tied to Education Code requirements.
The Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District Board of Education on Aug. 13 approved a slate of operational contracts, facility improvements and human-resources resolutions intended to support classrooms and district operations.
Board members voted unanimously to approve agreements including an enrollment-forecasting and student-yield analysis with Davis Demographics (8.02), a modernization project at the district adult school (8.03), requests for qualifications for Dunlap Elementary and Uka High School site work (8.04), an upgrade to door locks at Uka High School (8.05), and interactive displays and Chromebooks for the adult-education program (8.13, 8.12). The board also approved a one-time phone/mini-computer software upgrade for business services (8.07) and piggybacked contracts for child nutrition services (8.08). Several personnel-related resolutions were approved under Education Code provisions (items described as Ed. Code 44256/44263 and related resolutions).
District staff told the board the Davis Demographics contract will use ESRI-based mapping and yield analysis to better forecast students coming from new housing developments; staff said more-accurate forecasting will support future staffing and facility decisions. On the phone upgrade, staff clarified the purchase is a one-time fee for continued use of existing Cisco systems and is unrelated to a recent service outage by the district’s Internet provider.
Votes on the listed items were typically moved and seconded by board members (motions recorded in the meeting minutes) and called by the board president. Routine items on the consent calendar were approved in bulk; one consent item (purchase orders/pay vouchers/commercial warrants, item 9.06) carried a single abstention in the board’s recorded vote, and the notice-of-completion for exterior fence painting on the California Street campus (9.10) recorded four yes votes and one abstention/notation.
The board’s actions are part of routine back-to-school operational work ahead of the academic year and were presented as budgeted or one-time operational expenditures by district staff. The meeting record shows the board intended to follow up administratively on questions about service scope and staffing implications where appropriate.
The board adjourned after memorial remarks and recognition items.
