Board Meeting 2026-09-22

Southgate Community Schools board meeting (metadata date: October 13, 2026; the meeting title lists September 22, 2026). The board considered several school athletic equipment purchases. For basketball, coaches requested a shooting machine not to exceed $5,742, to be jointly funded by the programs with costs split between this year and next year. They described a limited-time discount from about $8,500 to roughly $5,500 and said the machine would be purchased with program funds. The district also presented a request for four mobile ball-stop netting systems for the Allen turf field, with funding from the drive-through bond designated for facility improvements; Net World Sports provided the quote, but the amount and final vote are unclear in the transcript.

The board approved seven carpeted cheerleading mats for Davidson Middle School at a stated cost of $6,996.30, with Tumble Track identified as the vendor. The mats are intended to improve athlete safety and support practices and competitions; they would be stored at Davidson and used by Southgate school programs. The board also considered a JROTC overnight trip to Fort Knox for the October 21–24 National Raiders Competition. The consent agenda, including September 8 meeting minutes and an HR update, was approved. The transcript does not clearly preserve the vote outcomes for the shooting machine, netting system, or JROTC trip.
