Consent Items Subject 5.05.d - Contracts and Agreements - Approve to ratify agreement between Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Langan CA, Inc., to provide environmental consulting services for Palm Elementary School, including soil sampling, laboratory analysis, technical reporting, and environmental review services, for an amount not to exceed $37,000. (Ms. Risco) Meeting Jul 23, 2026 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation : Approve to ratify agreement between Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Langan CA, Inc., to provide environmental consulting services for Palm Elementary School, including soil sampling, laboratory analysis, technical reporting, and environmental review services, for an amount not to exceed $37,000. Analysis : The Hacienda La Puente Unified School District previously conducted multiple rounds of soil testing at Palm Elementary School. The District is undergoing mitigation measures, including excavation and off-site soil disposal. In approving these mitigation measures the Board also provided direction to explore the possibility of conducting more advanced forensic soil analysis to look for a source of the contaminates. The District contacted multiple sources capable of providing the type of advanced forensic analysis needed. Langan CA, Inc. (Langan) was identified as a company capable of providing the required services. Langan submitted a proposal to provide environmental consulting services to support the District's investigation efforts. The proposed services include: (1) collection and laboratory analysis of five additional soil samples from each area where elevated lead and arsenic concentrations were previously identified; (2) preparation of a technical report summarizing findings and recommendations; and (3) a desktop environmental review of publicly available environmental records, historical site information, and regulatory data related to both Palm Elementary School and nearby industry. Because the District's previous sampling efforts were conducted by another consultant, Langan needed to collect and analyze its own soil samples to maintain an evidentiary documented chain of custody and ensure the integrity and defensibility of the analytical results. Additionally, environmental samples are subject to laboratory holding times typically between 14 to 40 days depending on the element, meaning that certain analyses must be performed within specified timeframes after collection to ensure valid and reliable results. As a result, Roux’s samples are not suitable for all of the analyses contemplated under this agreement, making the collection of new samples necessary to support Langan's evaluation and conclusions. Because Roux was already scheduled to begin soil removal activities, Langan was required to collect the necessary samples before those activities commenced. As a result, there was insufficient time to obtain Board approval in advance, and this agreement is therefore being presented to the Board for ratification. The work proposed by Langan represents an initial step in assisting the District with identifying a potential source of the contamination. Upon completion of the investigation and review of the resulting data, Langan will provide recommendations regarding potential next steps and additional courses of action. Any subsequent work would require additional funding and would be presented to the Board for consideration and approval at a future meeting. The agreement is proposed on a time-and-materials basis with a not-to-exceed amount of $37,000. Approval of this agreement will provide the District with independent environmental expertise necessary to further evaluate soil conditions at Palm Elementary School. The information developed through this work will assist the District in determining whether the contamination is consistent with known regional environmental conditions or other potential sources and will support future remediation, regulatory, and facilities-related decisions. Administration recommends that the Board of Education approve the ratification with Langan for environmental consulting services in an amount not to exceed $37,000. Findings and recommendations resulting from the consultant's work will be communicated to the Board and educational partners as appropriate and will be utilized to support future environmental and facilities-related decisions regarding Palm Elementary School.

(Ms. Risco) Meeting Jul 23, 2026 - In-Person/Virtual Regular Board of Education Meeting Type Action Recommendation : Approve to renew agreement between Hacienda La Puente Unified School District and Primero Edge, A Cybersoft Solution, to provide Nutrition Services Point of Service management software and support for the 2026-27 school year, for an amount not to exceed $23,345. Analysis : The Nutrition Services Department currently utilizes Primero Edge as its point of service (POS) and nutrition program management system. The platform supports POS meal service operations, program administration, an online payment system for families, and technical help desk support. The 2026–27 school year will mark the Department’s third year of full implementation following the complete migration to the system. The system has been successfully implemented across all Nutrition Services operations and has provided reliable support for meal service transactions, program management, and parent account payments. Staff have fully transitioned to the platform, and it continues to meet operational and reporting needs. The continued use of Primero Edge ensures efficient meal service operations while supporting compliance with federal and state child nutrition program requirements and providing consistent technical support for staff. The Nutrition Services Department recommends renewal of the current agreement with Primero Edge, A Cybersoft Solution, to maintain uninterrupted service for the 2026–2027 school year.

Analysis : The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department can provide as-needed supplemental law enforcement services for special events to assist in providing safety, security, and order on or near school sites at regular or extra-curricular school functions, including inter-scholastic athletic events, dances, and other school activities.
