September 14th, 2026 Regular School Board Meeting Live Stream

The Stevens Point Area Public School District regular school board meeting, identified by its title as September 14, 2026 (metadata timestamp: September 15 UTC), included procurement and budget updates. The board approved funding for a phase of the SPASH AI innovation lab; the amount in the transcript is garbled as “$215,9340,” so the exact figure is unclear. The district also reported a nearly $990,000 Sentry Foundation grant for the AI Forge initiative over three years, supporting staff development, student AI learning, and the proposed lab. Administration discussed an RFP for employee health, dental, and vision benefits consulting, noting the district’s eight-year relationship with M3 Insurance and interest from other firms; no award or procurement decision was recorded. Short-term borrowing options were reviewed for information, with a projected cash-flow shortfall of about $1.1 million, but no borrowing action was taken.

The 2025–26 general fund review reported about $115 million in revenue and $114.6 million in expenditures, with a $2.87 million increase in fund balance. The district also reported $3.51 million in annual cost savings identified across three years of budget and program review, and discussed expected building work, including roofs, without specific project awards. The board approved the consent agenda; other discussion included summer school, student supports, and district communications. No vendor selection was made for the benefits RFP.
