Board OKs consent agenda including nearly $35 million in purchase orders
Summary
By unanimous roll call the Board adopted a consent agenda that included Purchase Order Report No. 7 totaling $34,962,308.20 and Purchase Order Report No. 8 totaling $2,391,615.05, along with routine ratifications and program approvals.
The Montebello Unified School District Board of Education on Nov. 19 adopted a consent agenda that included large procurement and financial ratifications.
Purchase Order Report No. 7 (2025–2026 Fiscal Year) was approved and ratified in the total amount of $34,962,308.20; Purchase Order Report No. 8 (2025–2026 Fiscal Year) was approved in the amount of $2,391,615.05. The minutes record that both items were certified to be in accordance with provisions of the California Education Code and district policies. The consent agenda also ratified warrant reports, records of collections, and a range of service contracts and consultant agreements.
Board Clerk Elizabeth Cabrera moved the consent agenda and Mr. Cerdan seconded; Vice President Jennifer Gutierrez called the roll and the four members present voted "aye." The minutes do not break down the PO Report line items; they note copies of supporting documents are filed in the district Procurement Office.
District staff listed funding sources for many consent items in the packet (e.g., Special Education Ages 5–22, Title I, Unrestricted General Fund, Cafeteria Fund) and noted that specific agreements and invoices would be filed in the Procurement Office. The board's recorded action ratifies these expenditures and authorizes processing of the listed payments and contracts.
