Board Meeting - August 2026

The Lebanon Special School District Board of Education meeting was held August 26, 2026. The board approved adding an agenda item to consider amending the Family Resource Center (FRC) budget for a used bus to support its summer feeding and reading program. The proposed 2022 bus has 14,000 miles, and the requested spending cap was $102,000; the purchase would use donated or fundraised money, not general-purpose funds. Staff said the district would transfer equipment from the existing 1999 bus, whose parts are no longer available. A motion to approve the purchase was made, but the transcript does not capture a vote or final decision. The board also approved an overnight trip for Walter J. Baird Middle School’s Junior Beta team; no trip cost was stated.

The director reported that the Walter J. Baird gym floor and digital scoreboards were in the design phase, and that smart boards had arrived and were awaiting installation and training. The district had also purchased recognition benches for school campuses and plaques for two departing board members, with no costs provided. Enrollment and budget estimates were reported, but no other contract awards, bids, vendor selections, or spending motions were identified.
