What’s on the Redlands Unified school board agenda for July 21

REDLANDS, Calif. – The Redlands Unified School District Board of Education will meet Tuesday to consider a range of operational, facilities and educational items ahead of the start of the 2026-27 school year. Topics include a district presentation on artificial intelligence, approval of annual School Plans for Student Achievement, Measure D-funded campus projects and discussion of two policies related to parental rights and student information.

Here’s what to know:

Artificial intelligence in Redlands Schools (7a)

Deputy Superintendent Jason Hill will deliver a presentation on artificial intelligence in Redlands Unified. 

School improvement plans for every campus (14c)

Trustees will consider approving School Plans for Student Achievement (SPSAs) for all district schools for the 2026-27 academic year.

The plans are specific to each school site and operate on a one-year term. Beginning this year, eligible high schools will also receive Title I funding to support strategies identified through their needs assessments and improvement plans.

Adult education funding agreement (11f)

The board will consider accepting $1.17 million in California Adult Education Program funding through the San Bernardino Community College District Adult Education Consortium.

The funding supports programs operated through Redlands Adult School and helps the district provide adult education services, workforce development opportunities and partnerships through the regional America's Job Center system. The funding level reflects an increase from the prior year after a cost-of-living adjustment.

Measure D facilities projects (11a, 11g)

Several bond-funded facilities items are on the agenda.

Trustees will consider a $9,750 contract for a comprehensive assessment of tennis courts at Citrus Valley High School, Redlands East Valley High School and Redlands High School. The study will evaluate structural conditions, drainage, compliance with athletic standards and potential repair needs.

The board will also award a contract for fencing and drainage repairs at Crafton Elementary School. The project includes fencing improvements and repairs to an existing V-ditch.

In addition, trustees will formally accept completion of two previously approved Measure D projects:

  • Painting improvements at Citrus Valley High School
  • A new pool shade structure at Redlands East Valley High School

Expanded learning and student services agreements (13d)

Trustees will review an $87,100 agreement for Active Education to deliver structured activities through the district's Expanded Learning Opportunity Program at elementary schools. The program focuses on physical activity, social-emotional development and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS).

Student discipline cases (14a-b)

Trustees will consider two stipulated expulsions involving students accused of robbery or extortion violations.

Both recommendations would expel the students through the first semester of the 2026-27 school year, with the second semester suspended.

Parental notification and "No Deception" policies (20a-b)

The meeting concludes with discussion of two policy proposals:

  • A parental notification policy
  • A "No Deception" policy.

Both items are listed as discussion items only, meaning trustees are expected to discuss the proposals rather than take formal action.

Other items

The board will also:

  • Approve transportation vendors for field trips, athletics and student activities.
  • Approve agreements for special education instructional and tutoring services.
  • Continue the district's fourth-grade heritage tours in partnership with A.K. Smiley Public Library.
  • Provide student records training for district staff.
  • Approve more than $8.5 million in district payments and expenditures.

The meeting will be held Tuesday, July 21, at the Redlands Unified School District Board Room, 25 W. Lugonia Ave.

Closed session starts at 4:30 p.m.
Open sessions starts at 6:00 p.m.
