School Board Meeting - 10/13/26

The Quincy School District Board meeting on October 13, 2026, included approval of the consent agenda. Consent items discussed included school planners, an annual grant supporting multilingual learners, accounts payable, and contracts and agreements. The board also approved a new therapeutic day-program arrangement for one Quincy student, delivered in partnership with the ESD at a program in Moses Lake. Board members described the program as expensive; staff said the district would seek to recapture eligible costs through safety-net funding. The consent agenda passed, though the transcript does not provide a specific contract amount or vendor name for the program. Members also asked for more detail on overnight field-trip accommodations and some reimbursements.

The technology director presented the district’s layered student online-safety measures, including filtering, monitoring, AI-generated risk alerts, and data-protection practices. He said the iBoss subscription costs approximately $25,000–$30,000 and indicated the board would be considering its contract in an upcoming meeting; student multi-factor authentication could add costs, but no confirmed amount was stated. The board leadership report also called for reconvening the facilities committee to review the long-term facilities plan, including real-estate planning and conditions for potentially bringing a bond forward. No facilities purchase or bond action was taken at this meeting.
