Special Meeting 10 27 26

Roosevelt School District No. 66 governing board special meeting, October 27, 2026. The board reviewed math-goal progress and a report on aligning district spending with student outcomes. Finance staff discussed budget utilization, targeted tutoring and school supports, curriculum and coaching investments, and additional staffing for rising exceptional student services enrollment (two teachers, five paraprofessionals, and one aide). Board members questioned spending forecasts, per-student costs, and return on investment for outside support; no new contract award or specific procurement dollar amount was approved. The academic progress report and superintendent guardrail report were each accepted by 4–1 votes.

The board received a Phase 2 update on the Sunland construction project, including staff engagement, temporary operating arrangements, and plans for a larger multipurpose gym/cafeteria, stage, and additional program space. Phase 2A construction was described as running through July 2027, with Phase 2B extending to December 2027; the transcript gives no project cost or approval of a construction contract. The board also approved the first reading of policy DJ on bidding and purchasing procedures, with discussion noting an option to bring time-sensitive purchases to the board. No public comment was received.
