BDUSD School Board Meeting August 10th, 2026

The Beaver Dam Unified School District Board of Education meeting on August 10, 2026, included approval of high school overnight trip requests. The district will cover yellow-bus transportation; if teams choose a coach bus, the club will pay that cost, with student spending money also noted. The board received a referendum-project update: structural steel and building enclosure work are progressing, while Washington painting and carpet installation and Prairie View and Lincoln fencing, paving, striping, sidewalks, and landscaping are underway. The building is expected to be fully enclosed by winter, with structural steel scheduled for completion at the end of September. No construction contracts or new procurement awards were announced.

The board approved payment claims by roll-call vote; the transcript gives the amount as “9,769,3875,” so its exact formatting is unclear. In closed session, members discussed a potential real-estate transaction and employee matters; appointments presented to the board were subsequently approved. The board also requested research on using an independent hearing officer for expulsion hearings and discussed possible future implementation of OpenGate school-safety screening technology, without making a procurement decision on either item.
