October 2026 Board Meeting

The LaCrosse-WA School Board’s October 20, 2026 meeting included a facilities update and approval of monthly expenditures. The district reported roof repairs involving two change orders—approximately $5,500 and $10,000—and said it had applied for a state emergency-repair grant, but the available funding pool was exhausted. A potential grant of $600,000 may become available after future legislative funding; meanwhile, the district is considering a bridge repair project and whether to use capital funds or wait for another grant opportunity. The board also noted that major capital-project payments had been made and discussed an ice-rink-related project component, with no construction award or new project authorization recorded in the transcript.

The board approved an amendment to the August payroll/September bills totaling $643,811.55 and approved September payroll/October bills totaling $295,699.16. It also approved a staff member’s attendance at the National Association of Agricultural Educators convention in New Orleans, December 1–5; no cost was stated. The board approved Policy/Procedure 2020P on course design and instructional materials, following discussion of curriculum review and board approval authority, which may shape future instructional-material selection. No vendor selection or contract award was identified.
