Ladue School District Live Stream

The Ladue School District Board of Education’s October 21, 2026 meeting included two construction-project payment approvals. The board approved a $23,750 closeout payment to Vernon Jones for the Conway field project, which was reported as $65,000 under budget, and approved approximately $465,550 for pay applications 1 and 2 for the middle-school turf field, then under construction and expected to be completed the following month. The transcript contains a verbal correction and some confusion over the turf payment’s exact cents; the amount was stated as $465,550 during clarification. The board also approved the presented policies by a 6–0 vote. Proposed 2027–28 board meeting dates were deferred for consideration, with no vote taken.

The board received an informational presentation on facility rental fees. Staff said district rates for outside, for-profit users (Group 3) are generally below comparable districts and plan to recommend rates nearer the regional median, with possible higher rates for highly sought-after facilities; no fee changes were approved at this meeting. Discussion covered cost recovery and facility upkeep, protecting access for district and community groups, rental scheduling priorities, and potential user accountability for cleanup or damage. A demographic forecast by Demographic Analytics Advisors was presented to inform upcoming facilities and finance planning; no procurement award or contract amount was discussed for that work.
