October 14, 2026 Freeman School Board Meeting

The Freeman School District 33-1 School Board met October 14, 2026. Facilities and grounds work included pending electrification in the press box storage area and completion of fob-access installations. Members discussed a proposed $2,917.41 drainage repair, which staff said could be covered by a project contingency of about $149,000. Board members raised concerns about the repair and broader building drainage and grading issues; they agreed to table the related item until the November meeting and arrange for professionals to assess the scope and options. No contract award or spending approval was recorded for this work.

The board also discussed Bus No. 8, which failed inspection because of a broken stop arm and is the district’s oldest bus. Members weighed a possible repair estimated at about $1,400 against the bus’s condition and a new bus cost mentioned at roughly $150,000; no repair, purchase, or surplus decision was made. The second reading of a policy concerning public asset access and weight-room music was discussed without action, with students to be invited to propose changes. No other procurement awards or purchasing approvals were identified.
