Board orders November bond election and adopts 2026–27 budget
Summary
Trustees voted to place a facilities bond on the November 3 ballot and approved the 2026–27 district budget after presentations from business services; trustees emphasized stewardship of taxpayer funds and the district's track record delivering projects on time and on budget.
The San Mateo‑Foster City Board of Trustees voted to place a facilities bond measure on the November 3 ballot (Resolution 062526) and approved the district’s 2026–27 budget.
Business and finance staff presented the bond resolution and explained the specifications for a November election; one member of the public urged the board to prioritize spending rather than seeking new taxes. Trustees responded by describing recent capital projects, cost savings and the district’s conservative management of funds; several board members highlighted local video documentation showing conditions that prompted the bond proposal.
The board then approved the resolution to order the bond election and followed by approving the 2026–27 annual budget, with business staff noting some remaining fine points (special education funds) to be finalized in subsequent accounting cycles.
