Ashland City Schools BOE Meeting 10/26/2026

Ashland City Schools Board of Education regular meeting, October 26, 2026. The board discussed using a construction-manager-at-risk approach for planned turf work on the baseball infield and Arrow Field practice area, with the administration citing greater vendor-selection flexibility and potential cost savings. A motion to recommend approval was made, but the transcript does not capture the vote or outcome. The board approved its superintendent’s consent calendar unanimously; items highlighted included a Toronto visual and performing arts trip in April 2028 and increased bus rates reflecting maintenance, fuel, negotiated wages, and wait time. The board also unanimously approved an attorney-client fee agreement for litigation concerning social media’s effects on students; the law firm’s name is unclear in the transcript.

The superintendent reminded residents that a renewal of the district’s no-new-money PI levy would appear on the November 3 ballot and was expected to generate about $5.6 million for staffing, contracted services, supplies, and other resources. Other business included a first reading of updates to student-discipline reporting codes and approval of a revised parent and family engagement policy. No specific contract amounts or construction-project budgets were stated.
