Board approves leases, contracts, modular classroom purchases and personnel changes
Summary
The board approved a package of procurement and personnel items including a 10‑year lease renewal for Valor Christian Academy, CMAS roofing materials contract, modular building purchases for Lincoln and Madison elementaries, a change order to stabilize a Paris Middle School retaining wall, grants and new/updated job classifications including a lead athletic trainer.
At its May 12 meeting, the Redondo Beach Unified School District Board approved a series of consent and action items covering facilities procurement, construction work, and personnel changes.
Key actions the board approved included:
- Lease renewal: Approved a lease agreement with Valor Christian Academy for 525 Earl Lane with an increased monthly rent; the term is 10 years with a five‑year option (agenda item 12.1).
- Roofing and materials: Authorized use of a California multiple award schedule (CMAS) contract to purchase roofing materials from Garland Company for the district’s 2026 summer roofing projects (12.3) and approved a correction to a prior bid price for a Tita Elementary roof item (12.9).
- Modular buildings and site work: Approved purchase agreements for modular classroom buildings from American Modular Systems for Lincoln Elementary and Madison Elementary (12.10, 12.11), and authorized material testing and inspection services and related piggyback procurements for modular and toilet projects (12.4, 12.8).
- Playground and construction: Authorized the use of cooperative procurement (CAMASS) with Dave Bang Associates for future playground equipment purchases (12.7) and approved a change order request for Paris Middle School’s retaining wall after crews discovered a cavern behind the wall requiring two‑sack slurry stabilization and further investigation (12.6).
- Grants and programs: Approved a school counseling residency capacity grant in partnership with LMU (12.12) and an agreement with SheriffFest Community Development to deliver a semester‑long, no‑cost program at the continuation site (12.13).
- Personnel and compensation: Approved an increased pay range for the athletic trainer position and creation of a lead athletic trainer position (12.14, 12.15), a Memorandum of Understanding with CSEA for skill maintenance stipends (12.16), and a revised salary schedule and new job descriptions for CDC staff and after‑school program leadership (12.17, 12.18, 12.19).
District staff described the retaining wall work as urgent after subsurface instability was discovered and said civil investigations and borings are underway. Board members asked questions and the items passed on majority/unanimous voice votes recorded in the meeting as "I." No roll‑call tallies with individual board votes were read into the record.
What’s next: Specific procurement contracts (playground, modular installations) will return with locations and equipment details at a subsequent meeting; staff will coordinate follow‑up engineering reports for the Paris retaining wall and proceed with programmed summer work.
