State Allocation Board Meeting
The meeting commenced with procedural matters and confirmation of quorum, followed by the approval of minutes from the January 28, 2026 meeting (which was subsequently postponed for later consideration). Key discussion focused on action items regarding the school facilities program. The Board considered staff recommendations for updating Form SAB501 to treat Transitional Kindergarten (TK) enrollment as a separate category in new construction enrollment projections, aligning with statewide implementation and Proposition 2 bond authority. Another major action item involved adopting emergency regulatory amendments for the Small School District Program established by Proposition 2, which sets aside bond authority for new construction and modernization projects for districts with 2500 or fewer pupils. The Board also reviewed financial reports, noting a low incidence of audit findings requiring funds to be returned to the State. The meeting concluded with the Board moving into a closed session to discuss pending litigation.
