CJUSD Regular Board Meeting June 24, 2026
Published: Jun 24, 2026
District to Sell Surplus iPads and MacBooks for Estimated Revenue
The board considered approving the disposal of surplus devices. The district recently purchased new devices, refreshing older ones that are about six years old. The plan is to sell the old devices to a vendor who will provide money based on their condition. Approximately $65 is estimated per iPad and $150 per MacBook. The district has about 1,500 iPads and 350 MacBooks to be surplused.
Staff Associations Raise Concerns on CBA Signatures, New Positions, Facility Issues, and Safety
Several issues were raised by the California Faculty Association (CFA) and the California School Employees Association (CASE) regarding district operations and policies. CFA is awaiting signatures on a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was signed in February and approved in March, with the updated CBA provided to the district in late April. They are concerned about an updated hourly rate of $55 per hour ($39.8.75 for a full day) for teachers working outside standard hours, particularly for the RACK program. CFA also questioned the addition of five new FTE positions (maintenance transportation supervisor, HR confidential, ELOP supervisor, special education TOSA, secretary to maintenance) due to lack of information and potential budget impact, advocating instead for more classroom support like para-professionals and a behavior academy. They highlighted that the high school gym's HVAC system has been out for weeks, affecting volleyball programs, and requested new volleyball poles and nets for John Muir High School. An ongoing issue with bird feces in the John Muir farm area, impacting the A program and edible food, was also reported as a safety concern. Furthermore, RACK program teachers reported not having keys to classrooms, leading to delays and safety concerns.
Board Approves Policy on Mobile Communication Devices, Incorporating Student Feedback
The board discussed and approved board policy 5131.8 regarding mobile communication devices. Student, coach, and site leader input was incorporated into the policy. The policy aims to regulate the use of phones during school hours, including during potential incidents like fights. While the overarching policy is approved, detailed implementation plans (AR) are being developed for summer and will be added to parent and student handbooks, and communicated via multiple platforms and the Nixle app. Students expressed concerns about the effectiveness of phone-seizing bags, citing ways to bypass them, and preferred a policy where phones are stored and only used during breaks or for specific class activities, rather than purchasing expensive, hackable bags. The policy emphasizes phones should be stored and only accessible during breaks, unless a teacher directs otherwise for an activity. The work on this policy was highlighted as a significant student contribution.
HVAC Failure at High School Gym and Classroom Key Access Issues Raise Safety and Operational Concerns
Concerns were raised about the HVAC system at the high school gym being out of order for several weeks. The system is approximately four to five years old, and the coil is damaged without warranty, except for a one-year warranty. A replacement coil is awaited, but delivery issues with a third party are causing delays. Another unit is functional but cannot fully compensate. Relocation for sports activities was offered. Separately, issues with RACK program teachers lacking keys to classrooms were highlighted as a major safety concern, preventing them from securing the rooms in potential emergencies like lockdowns.
Board Considers Approval of 2026-2027 Elementary and Middle School Education Calendar
The board considered the approval of the 2026 27 elementary and middle school education calendar. No specific details about the calendar were provided in the transcript excerpt.
