The Palm Springs Unified School District Board of Education voted on multiple action and consent items during its Nov. 18 regular meeting.

After presentations on induction and PAR supports, the board approved the final induction and PAR report (item 16a), citing the district’s reflective‑coach model that supports new teachers. The board also approved certificated and classified employee transitions and the 2025–26 School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) (items 16b–16c).

On facilities and procurement, the board authorized amendment number 1 to a Frontier Communications wide area network services agreement (RFP 23‑01) to exercise the first one‑year contract extension and authorized consideration of a future second extension (item 16d). The board approved modifications 1 and 2 to PSUSD income agreement IN000222 (RCOE agreement C1009693) for participation in the 2024–25 Head Start sub‑award.

The board also approved the rejection of several claims (including claim numbers 2025‑2026‑06AA and 2025‑2026‑05) and approved a compromise and release agreement dated Oct. 1 (item 16h). Multiple action items and superintendent consent items (17a–17g) were approved in a single vote after a brief discussion of a Desert Hot Springs High School locker‑room architectural agreement; staff said design options and renderings will be presented once the architect completes recommendations.

Where the transcript records the outcomes it notes that motions were moved, seconded and "motion passed" for the listed items. One vote on the October minutes recorded an abstention (speaker identified as Speaker 10 in the transcript) followed by approval of the item. The board set a facilities study session for Dec. 9, 2025 and scheduled the next regular meeting for Dec. 9, 2025 at 6 p.m.

The board did not receive any in‑person public comments during the public comment period, and no votes failed during the meeting.
