Board approves CyberPatriot MOU, dairy procurement, mural contract and retirement resolution
Summary
Trustees approved several consent and action items including a memorandum of understanding with Cypress College for a CyberPatriot competition (~$13,000, funded by CTE grants), authorization to piggyback a dairy contract, ratification of a Prop 28-funded mural contractor, adoption of a retirement resolution and other routine warrants, donations and personnel reports.
The Los Alamitos Unified School District board approved multiple consent and action items, including a memorandum of understanding with Cypress College to participate in a CyberPatriot cybersecurity competition, authorization to use a piggyback contract to purchase dairy products, ratification of a mural contractor using Prop 28 arts funds, and a retirement resolution recognizing district retirees.
Trustee Davidson pulled the Cypress College MOU for discussion and said she wanted trustees to continue sharing these student career and technical opportunities. Superintendent Pulver explained the program and funding: "The cost to us as a district is about just a little over $13,000, and we use some of the CTE grant funds that we have to provide these opportunities to our students," he said. The board approved the MOU by voice vote (recorded as passing 4–0).
Board members also authorized a piggyback procurement for dairy products to realize cost savings and approved the ratification of an independent contractor agreement with Savvy Soul LLC to produce murals funded by Prop 28 arts allocations. Staff explained the district had received a waiver for early Prop 28 staffing requirements that allowed some funds to be used for arts projects before the end of the fiscal year. Those motions passed by voice vote (4–0).
On action items, the board adopted a retirement resolution recognizing the districts retirees; the president conducted a roll-call vote and trustees approved the resolution unanimously. The board also approved warrants, accepted donations totaling $65,792.05, and approved certificated/classified and administrative personnel reports; votes were recorded as passing in the meeting record.
Why it matters: These votes finalize routine but substantive operational actions: the CyberPatriot partnership creates competitive learning opportunities, procurement decisions affect food services budgets and logistics, Prop 28 funds support arts visibility on campuses, and the retirement resolution formalizes recognition of staff contributions.
