Board of Education Meeting - October 19, 2026

L'Anse Creuse Public Schools Board of Education meeting — October 19, 2026. The board heard the 2025–26 audit presentation, which reported a clean, unmodified opinion and no financial-statement or federal-program findings. The district had $18.4 million in General Fund balance at June 30, including $16.4 million unassigned; General Fund balance equaled 11.5% of operating expenditures. The audit also reported $121 million in total assets and a $34.2 million decrease in total fund balance, largely reflecting spending from the 2025 capital projects fund. The board voted to accept the audit. Discussion also covered the food-service fund’s required spend-down plan and a reported $225,000 indirect-cost transfer; no new procurement action was identified in that discussion.

The board approved the resolution to collect 2027 summer taxes and approved the kitchen renovations recommendation, Bid Package 27-03. It also approved district-wide improvements, Bid Packages 27-01 and 27-02, and a bond-funded recommendation for high-school mobile-device charging lockers. The transcript does not provide vendor names, award amounts, or contract values for these items; one board member asked whether the sidewalk contractor was the same as previously used, and the response confirmed it. A board-policy amendment was also approved, including a requirement that certain school-related communications be documented and reported as soon as possible; it may affect district procedures but was not a procurement decision.
