The board approved a set of contracts and purchases intended to support facilities, food services and technology operations.
For facilities, Retrofit Technology LLC was awarded the HVAC installation contract for 10 replacement units at Hermosa Valley after a public bid; staff said the replacement units are a like‑for‑like installation.

On technology, IT staff recommended purchasing 200 Asus Chromebooks (California Multiple Award Schedule contract) to sustain the district 1:1 device plan for middle school; the district plans to barcode devices in its Follett checkout system and offer an optional insurance program for families. The board also approved renewal of the Palo Alto security subscription; staff discussed phishing incidents and recommended continued two‑factor authentication, periodic training and potential password policy changes.
