WVSD #208 School Board Meeting 10-13-2026

The West Valley School Board’s regular meeting on October 13, 2026, included a report that the district received a $14,500 Local Heroes grant from Gesa Credit Union and the Gesa Community Foundation to purchase 3D printers for elementary-school STEM education. The equipment had already been ordered and shipped. The superintendent also reported that the junior high domestic-water piping replacement project, budgeted at $1.2 million, was completed under budget and on time; the transcript’s stated final cost is garbled but appears to be approximately $1.084 million. A motion was made to approve five travel requests, with a correction that one request involved 18 students rather than zero, but the vote result is not captured in the transcript.

Public comment focused on school safety and staff support following a staff member’s reassignment after a campus altercation; board members thanked speakers and said the concerns would be taken seriously, but no related action was recorded. The board also heard a presentation about a student-involved elementary-school art installation. Minutes were approved, and the meeting ended with a closed session for which no action was planned.
