Ferndale Public Schools’ regular Board of Education meeting on October 19, 2026, included public comments urging the district to limit classroom screen use and provide clearer rules for educational technology, AI tools, and student privacy. The superintendent also heard presentations from Ferndale High School and University High School student councils about planned events, fundraising, and community-service activities. The board discussed budget-to-actual reporting; the highlighted variance was an energy bond payment, and the report was described as generally on trend with the prior year.

The board approved the consent agenda and annual policy updates from Thrun, described as incorporating required legal and legislative changes, and approved a resolution affirming the Ferndale Standard. These votes did not involve contract awards or purchasing decisions. The transcript contains no procurement activity, vendor selections, or new spending approvals; a future field ribbon-cutting was mentioned, but no related project or funding action was discussed.
