Riverview School Board Meeting 8/3/26

At the Riverview School District Board meeting on August 3, 2026, the board approved Gateway proposals for the junior/senior high school additions and alterations: civil engineering for $41,500, geotechnical services for $14,500, and surveying for $16,682. The board also approved a series of cafeteria-project invoices and pay applications, including payments to American Contracting Enterprises, S&T Plumbing, Merit Electrical Group, K&K Mechanical Services, and Grand Construction. Some amounts and one vendor name were garbled in the transcript. Administrators said the cafeteria work was generally tracking the original budget; asbestos abatement was a cost pressure, while a credit for flooring removal was expected because that work was no longer needed. Two change orders of approximately $3,400 and $781 were noted, along with an expected credit of less than $2,000.

The board reviewed, but did not vote on, upcoming agreements for student services, athletic training through East Suburban Sports Medical Center, and transit services; the athletic-training agreement was newly received and pending solicitor review. The athletic handbook update also described a process for coaches to submit wish lists and purchase-order requests to streamline purchasing. Other discussion concerned counseling communications and proposed handbook changes, including cell-phone rules; no staffing or related budget decision was made on those topics at this meeting.
