Board of Education Regular Meeting - August 3, 2026

The La Crosse Public Schools Board of Education regular meeting on August 3, 2026, included updates on referendum-funded construction and school consolidation. Work was proceeding across several projects, with painting, flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures being installed; the gym floor and library furniture would follow later, and the kitchen project was planned for next year and was being prepared for bidding. The district also planned to replace seating and carpeting at Central over winter break. No construction contract awards, bid approvals, project dollar amounts, or other specific spending votes were reported. The board approved its consent agendas and monitoring reports, but the transcript did not specify procurement items within the consent agendas.

The board received a presentation on county school-based dental programs, including Seal a Smile and La Crosse Smiles. Seal a Smile’s reported preventive-care value was $344,520, with funding primarily through the Children’s Health Alliance of Wisconsin and support from Delta Dental; this was a program update, not a district purchasing decision. Other discussion covered the new school year, district communications, and property matters related to former school buildings. The board voted to add a future information item about the Train Technologies property; no procurement action was identified in that discussion.
