Livonia Public Schools Committee Meeting, October 12 2026

The Livonia Public Schools Board of Education Committee of the Whole continuation meeting was held October 12, 2026. Operations staff and Plant Moran RealPoint reviewed the 2026 sinking-fund work and three-year project outlook. Completed projects included roofing at Buchanan, Cooper, Hoover, and Franklin High School; paving; pool filtration equipment; a central-office generator; and a water-main replacement. The work was bid about $1.8 million under budget, and nearly $800,000 in unused allowances and contingencies will return to the sinking fund. The district reported about $70 million in sinking-fund work since 2016 and discussed planned 2027–2029 roofing, paving, signage, play-pad, turf, and bleacher projects. No contract awards or procurement votes were recorded. The bond-program dashboard showed about $16.6 million remaining in Series 3 and approximately $5.2 million planned for next summer’s final technology phase, including printers, copiers, phones, digital signage, mobile devices, and network equipment; planning and procurement are underway.

The board also received a facilities-use update reporting about $734,000 in lease and facility-use revenue, and a financial update showing revenue of about $188 million and expenditures of about $190 million for the prior school year, with expenditures $1.3 million below budget. Ford Philanthropy donations included a $9,300 grant used to purchase 10 laptops for robotics teams and a $10,000 grant supporting backpacks and school supplies, with the remaining $630 allocated to supplies for the Garfield Garments free store. The board reviewed proposed policy and administrative-procedure language on supplemental instructional materials and student internet safety; these were discussion items, not procurement decisions. No spending or purchasing motions were reported.
