On December 9, 2025, the Board approved Lease Lease-Back agreements between the District and CORE Construction, Inc. for construction services related to the Joaquin Moraga Middle School and Donald Rheem Elementary School Modernization Projects ("Project"). The Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA} pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, sections 15301 (Class 1 - minor alteration of existing structures), sections 15302 (Class 2 - replacement or reconstruction), 15303 (Class 3 new construction of small structures), and 15314 (Class 14 - minor additions to schools).
