# BSD SB Meeting 10-19-26 @11:30am


**Body:** Belcourt School Board
**Date:** October 18, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

**Tags:** Education, Regulatory Compliance


At its October 19, 2026 meeting, the Belcourt School Board considered the proposed high school graduation date, time, and location. After discussing parent and student preferences, travel, and possible conflicts with state track, the board voted to table the decision pending a survey of seniors and parents on date options; no graduation date was approved.

The board approved an amendment to purchase policy HCAA, raising administrator purchasing authority from $2,500 to $10,000 and the superintendent’s authority to $50,000, with the changes described as aligning with North Dakota Century Code. An accompanying administrative regulation on informal bids or proposals was presented, but the transcript does not show a second or vote, so its adoption is unclear. No contracts, vendors, or specific purchases were discussed.
