Board approves 2026–27 contracts with one abstention; consent agenda passed after electricity contract pulled
Summary
Trustee motion approved contracts discussed in closed session for the 2026–27 school year with a 5–1 vote and one abstention (Jeff Allen). The board also approved the consent agenda after removing the Electricity Provider Contract at staff request.
After returning from closed session, Trustee Tasha Soto moved to approve contracts discussed in closed session for the 2026–27 school year; Brenda Valdez seconded the motion. The minutes record the motion passed with five votes in favor and one abstention: Dennis Cumbie, Mark Garcia, Kelly Sheridan, Tasha Soto and Brenda Valdez voted in favor; Jeff Allen abstained.
Earlier in open session, Casey Bills asked that the Electricity Provider Contract be pulled from the consent agenda because the provider had not provided required data in time for the meeting. Trustee Tasha Soto then moved to approve the remaining consent agenda items — monthly minutes, financials and a budget amendment — without the electricity contract. Kelly Sheridan seconded that motion and the board approved the consent agenda 6–0.
The minutes do not record further details about the specific contracts approved from closed session; the board recorded the vote counts and the request to delay action on the electricity contract while staff obtain the missing data.
