Loveland Board of Education - Business Meeting - 10/20/26

The Loveland Board of Education’s regular business meeting on October 20, 2026, included a procurement-related approval to post approximately 1,000 surplus Chromebooks for a 30-day auction, sold in lots. The board approved the item by roll call; the district plans to set the asking price above a company’s quote and use the auction to recover funds rather than dispose of the devices. The treasurer reported energy-contract cost avoidance of $32,000 for natural gas and $135,000 for electricity so far in 2026, and more than $1 million in energy savings since 2023. The district plans to develop a public-facing cost-avoidance dashboard.

The finance discussion noted that the district is deficit spending and will hold a community town hall on school-finance options, including earned-income and property taxes; no budget or tax action was taken. A committee report said the educational foundation expects to fund 44 of 66 staff grant requests for just under $17,000. The treasurer also outlined a proposed June 1 deadline for transportation requests from nonpublic schools to improve route planning and reduce payments in lieu of transportation. The board approved the HR agenda, including a winter track stipend, and approved two overnight student trips. No new purchasing contract award or vendor selection was identified.
