Board considers Section 31aa safety and security funding resolution

What happened

The Sept. 28, 2026 agenda lists a Section 31aa funding resolution as an action item; the supplied record does not establish whether the board approved it or the amount sought. At its Oct. 2025 meeting, district officials said opting into the safety/security funds required a board resolution waiving privilege, and described a prior $5.4 million award, with the then-current award expected to be about half after a cap.

Why it matters to families

The proposal could unlock substantial state funding for district safety and security, but the earlier district explanation tied access to a waiver condition. The current agenda does not specify the amount or terms for this year's resolution, so those details remain unresolved in the available record.

The evidence

Document 95312 identifies “31aa Funding” as a Sept. 28, 2026 action item and attaches a resolution; it does not show a vote or amount. In the Oct. 6, 2025 meeting transcript (document 95313, approximately 00:47:27–00:48:44), district officials said board approval to waive privilege was needed to opt into Section 31aa safety/security funds, distinguished this from mental-health funding, and cited a prior $5.4 million award while expecting roughly half that amount under a cap.
