On February 11, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution No. 20-21/24, authorizing the emergency repair and replacement of facilities and procurement of equipment and services to enable timely transition of moving Lynwood High School to Lynwood Middle School campus. Because of the necessary relocation of students and reconfiguration of operations caused by the unavailability of Lynwood High School, repairs and equipment are needed at the District's middle schools and other District campus sites to provide adequately equipped facilities and available space for classroom instruction and essential educational services. Resolution No. 20-21/24 delegated to the District's Superintendent or designee the authority to execute contracts and take all actions necessary to execute and implement those contracts, such that one or more contractors may be selected to perform the necessary emergency repairs.

If a person with authority delegated under Public Contract Section 22050(b) orders action under Section 22050 without giving notice for bids, that person is required to report to the Board of Education within specified time periods with the reasons justifying why the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids and why the action is necessary to respond to the emergency. Actions listed in the Public Contract Code include the repair or replacement of a public facility, the procurement of necessary equipment, services, and supplies, or other related and immediate action required in the case of emergency.

The Board of Education is also required to review the emergency action and determine, by a four-fifths vote at each regularly scheduled meeting, that there is a need to continue the action taken. When the Board of Education reviews the emergency action, it must terminate the action at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant, so that the remainder of the emergency action may be completed by giving notice for bids for contracts.
