Board OKs Anatomage table for health pathway and several district purchase orders
Summary
Trustees approved a purchase of a second Anatomage table for health‑pathway instruction using K‑16 funds, and authorized multiple blanket purchase orders for trash removal, copying services and utilities; trustees also discussed solar and energy alternatives.
The board approved an anatomage (digital cadaver) table purchase for Santa Paula High School's health and wellness pathway using K‑16 pathway funds that expire June 2027. Director Guerra said the district has just under $250,000 remaining in that grant and the table would use about half the available funds, increasing lab capacity and supporting dual‑enrollment opportunities.
Separately, business services presented several routine blanket purchase orders for the 2026‑27 year: Athens environmental for trash disposal ($250,000), Sharp Electronics for copiers ($64,000), Southern California Edison for electricity ($940,000), Southern California Gas ($115,000), and City of Santa Paula water and sewer ($430,000). Trustees asked staff to investigate alternatives such as Clean Power Alliance rates and potential solar projects or grants that could reduce future utility costs.
The board approved the purchases and asked staff to report back on potential energy alternatives and grant opportunities.
