Board adopts Community Schools and Strong, Healthy Communities resolutions and signs off on facility and equipment purchases
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved resolutions backing Community Schools (24-30) and Strong, Healthy Communities (24-31), debated restorative justice staffing, and approved a range of facility, vehicle and technology contracts including a facility master plan and multiple Chromebook and vehicle purchases.
The Stockton Unified School District Board of Trustees adopted two districtwide resolutions and approved a broad slate of contracts, purchases and facility agreements during its regular meeting.
Resolutions: The board unanimously adopted Resolution 24-30 supporting Community Schools and Resolution 24-31 promoting Strong, Healthy Communities. During discussion of Resolution 24-31 several trustees asked whether the district should create a specific restorative-justice (RJ) coordinator position with a set salary; staff replied that Jennifer Robl currently supports restorative-justice work under Marian Santella and that the board will continue policy work to determine staffing and responsibilities. Trustees agreed the resolution is a first step and that accompanying policy and staffing follow-up are needed.
Facilities and contracts: Trustees approved the facility master plan (Resolution 24-28) after extensive site visits and stakeholder engagement. They also approved multiple construction and consultant contracts: a formal bid contract with G&B Builders Inc. for the Weber Institute playground, Terracon consultant agreements for swimming pool and turf projects, and multiple lease-leaseback and inspection contracts for fabric shade-structure installations. Board members highlighted heat concerns on campuses and thanked staff for accelerating shade-structure work.
Technology, transportation and services: The board authorized Chromebook purchases to reach two devices per student at targeted sites and to expand that ratio districtwide, renewed LTE services for Chromebooks for 2024'25, and approved agreements with AA Healthcare Inc. (nonpublic agency services), Playworks (professional development and expanded-learning curriculum), and an MOU with Bread of Life food pantry for after-school programs. The board also approved purchases of 15 vehicles for Child Welfare and Attendance, four vehicles for Families in Transition and five vehicles for the Family Resource Center.
Roll-call results: Most consent and contract items passed unanimously; the compensation resolution and several other items returned specific tallies noted in meeting minutes. The meeting adjourned at 6:42 p.m.
