San Ramon Valley Unified School District Packet Summary — August 18, 2026
Key Items on the Agenda
PG&E Easement for Service Center EV Charging
The Board is scheduled to hold a public hearing and consider Resolution #40/26-27 authorizing an easement to Pacific Gas and Electric Company at the District’s Service Center. The easement is connected to the District’s efforts to install electric-vehicle charging stations and would include a 10-foot-wide area for underground conduit lines and a 20-foot-by-33-foot area for a transformer and related equipment.
This is the second step of a two-step conveyance process. The Board previously adopted a resolution of intent on July 28, 2026, and required public notices were subsequently posted and published. If no legal protest is entered at the August 18 hearing, staff recommends approval by the required two-thirds vote; if a legal protest is entered, staff recommends referring the proposed conveyance to the County Superintendent for approval.
CSEA Unit III Successor Agreement
The Board is scheduled to consider negotiated agreements with California School Employees Association Chapter 65, Unit III, covering July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028. The packet says the agreements resulted from collective bargaining and were previously disclosed, along with the required AB 1200 documentation, at a June 16 public hearing.
Pending CSEA ratification, staff recommends Board approval. Materials accompanying the agreement address employee leaves, transfers and promotions, health benefits, salaries and working out of classification, grievance procedures, special-services caseload support, technology, and other working conditions.
Related agreements include provisions for a potential discretionary block grant, service documentation for behavior analysts and licensed vocational nurses, and the 2026-27 classified duty-year calendar. The block-grant agreement provides for $1.5 million to be allocated to CSEA if specified funding conditions are met, including approximately $730,000 to offset furlough days not covered during 2025-26 and remaining funds for a one-time 1.5% off-schedule payment based on 2026-27 annual base salary.
Provisional Internship Permits
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution #37/26-27 authorizing Provisional Internship Permit requests for two special-education assignments. The packet identifies Jennifer O’Neal at San Ramon Valley High School for SDC Moderate/Severe and Sarah E. Goldblum at Creekside Elementary for SDC Moderate.
The permits provide additional time for eligible applicants to satisfy subject-matter competency requirements needed to enter an internship program. The District states that it conducted a diligent search and determined that fully credentialed teachers were not available for the identified positions.
School Attendance Review Board Appointments
The Board is scheduled to consider eight appointments to the 2026-27 School Attendance Review Board, or SARB. The panel includes District personnel, a parent representative, and a Discovery Counseling Center representative.
SARB meets monthly to address student attendance cases and chronic truancy. The panel can develop written attendance agreements and recommend community services or other interventions intended to help students return to and succeed in school.
Student-Proposed Resolutions
Three student-submitted resolutions are coming to the Board under a process approved in February 2025:
- Breathe Free Week — May: Focused on awareness of vaping, tobacco and nicotine risks.
- Neurodivergent Individuals Awareness Month — April: Focused on awareness of neurological differences and support for flexible learning environments and advocacy for neurodivergent students.
- National Multilingual/Bilingual Learner Advocacy Month — April: Focused on linguistic diversity, cultural inclusion and advocacy for multilingual and bilingual learners.
The Board may select up to two proposals to advance for review by Steering Committees and potentially the Student Senate during September and October. If proposals move forward, staff plans to return on November 17, 2026 with committee feedback and any recommended revisions for final consideration.
Major Financial Items
Routine Budget Revisions
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution #41/26-27 approving monthly budget revisions reflecting updated revenues, grants, donations and expenditure commitments.
The proposed General Fund adjustments include:
- $34.83 million increase in other state revenue, primarily from approximately $24.9 million in Student Support and Professional Development Discretionary Block Grant funding and approximately $9.6 million in increased AB 602 Special Education revenue.
- $363,576 increase in local revenue, including approximately $155,000 from the SRVEF Endowment and approximately $208,000 in site donations.
- $8,313 decrease in federal revenue because of reduced Title III funding.
- $9.43 million increase in salaries and benefits, including approximately $5.8 million related to contingency language in bargaining-unit MOUs, $1.3 million for the first SERP annuity payment, $1.1 million in substitute costs associated with new pregnancy-disability leave requirements, and approximately $670,000 for additional staffing tied to increased enrollment.
- $2.25 million increase in supplies, services and capital expenditures, including approximately $1.5 million for settlement expenditures and $400,000 for student 1:1 device repair.
Warrants Totaling Nearly $21 Million
The consent agenda includes ratification of warrants covering expenditures from July 14 through August 3, 2026. The packet reports $20,984,813.93 in total warrants across all funds.
That total includes approximately $10.01 million from the General Fund and $10.49 million from the Warrant Pass Through Fund, along with expenditures from Child Nutrition, Building and Self-Insurance funds.
Contracts and Purchases Over $50,000
Staff is requesting authorization for three contracts or purchases exceeding $50,000:
- Alpine — $256,175: An increase of $58,335 for NPA/NPS services through June 30, 2027, funded through Special Education.
- AT&T — $70,000: CALNET 3 network circuits, funded through Technology.
- BSN Sports — $125,000: Athletic-team supplies for San Ramon Valley High School, funded through school-site donations.
Grocery Bid
The consent agenda includes Bid #961-A for the Child Nutrition program. The packet lists Sysco San Francisco for various grocery items, while GoldStar Foods and UNFI are listed as receiving no award.
Staff says the bid is structured to support cost savings, operational efficiency and supply-chain flexibility. Costs will depend on Child Nutrition program needs and will be charged to Fund 13.
Personnel, Compensation and Credentialing
2026-27 Salary Schedules
Staff is bringing the District’s active 2026-27 salary schedules back for formal approval after a CalPERS review. The schedules were also presented July 28, but the packet says not all active schedules were included at that time; staff is therefore presenting them together to help protect against future audit findings affecting retirees.
The package covers credentialed and non-credentialed teachers, special services, pupil personnel services, early infant program teachers, extra services, classified bargaining units, SEIU employees, miscellaneous and confidential employees, management, summer-school administrators, assistant/deputy superintendents and the Superintendent. Staff states that formal approval itself has no budget implication.
Assignments Outside Credential Authorization
Three consent resolutions would authorize specified teachers to work in assignments outside the normal authorization of their credentials where state Education Code allows such assignments based on coursework and other qualifications:
- Resolution #32/26-27 — Education Code 44256, primarily covering science-lab and certain middle-school assignments.
- Resolution #33/26-27 — Education Code 44258.2, covering specified departmentalized assignments.
- Resolution #34/26-27 — Education Code 44263, covering single-subject assignments for teachers with qualifying coursework and their consent.
Staff recommends adoption of all three resolutions and reports no budget implications.
Policy and Governance
Complaint, Nondiscrimination and Sexual-Harassment Regulations
The consent agenda includes revised administrative regulations and exhibits covering Uniform Complaint Procedures, nondiscrimination in employment, employee and student sexual harassment, and Title IX complaint procedures.
The packet says the revisions respond to a staffing change in the Director of Human Resources-Compliance position by updating the designated District contact responsible for administering these procedures. Staff states that no substantive changes are being made to the underlying policies or procedures and recommends adoption of the revised documents.
Other Consent Agenda Items
The Board is also scheduled to consider certificated and classified personnel changes, including employment, leaves, resignations, transfers and other personnel actions. Staff states that the recommended personnel changes are within approved budget categories or have otherwise received specific Board approval.
The consent agenda also includes:
- Ratification of contracts and purchase orders executed or revised from May 1 through June 30, 2026 under the Superintendent’s delegated authority for amounts of $50,000 or less.
- Declaration of equipment and other items as surplus property, allowing eligible obsolete or unneeded District property to be sold, donated or disposed of under applicable Education Code provisions.
- Recommended rejection of Claims #674136 and #675951. The packet explains that rejection is not a denial of either claim; rather, it starts a six-month limitations period for resolution or court action.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The PG&E easement will require a public hearing before the Board can consider final authorization, and the next procedural step depends on whether a legal protest is entered.
The CSEA Unit III agreement is another significant action item because it would establish contract terms through June 30, 2028 and includes related agreements affecting benefits, working conditions, service documentation and potential one-time compensation.
The student resolution process is at an earlier stage: the Board is not being asked to give final approval to the three new observances at this meeting. Instead, it can choose up to two proposals for additional committee review before possible final consideration on November 17.
Finally, the proposed routine budget revisions incorporate substantial new state revenue alongside millions of dollars in corresponding expenditure adjustments, making Resolution #41/26-27 one of the packet’s largest financial items.
