10/19/26 Board Meeting

The Board of Education meeting on October 19, 2026, included approval of the school improvement plans and funding actions related to school facilities. For Washington Elementary School, officials estimated that the project would use $7.4 million of the county’s $10 million allocation, leaving approximately $2.6 million unspent, while exhausting the $42 million state grant. The estimate was not final; three final bills were expected to go before county commissioners in November. The remaining $761,000 in state funds was earmarked for a final contractor invoice. The board also approved a $20,000 lottery-fund request for Washington High School fencing improvements and a $70,000 reallocation for PS Jones, described as funds no longer needed for their original purpose.

The board approved the school improvement plans as presented. During public comment, Aurora’s mayor asked the board to accept the county commissioners’ offer to purchase the former SW Snowden campus for public use; no board action on that request was recorded in the transcript. Members also discussed a proposed partnership with Agape Health Services, including parental consent, student privacy, and staff confidentiality training. The available transcript ends before a decision on the partnership or the requested superintendent’s report is recorded.
