BOE Regular Meeting 10/28/2026

The SPS Board of Education held its regular meeting on October 28, 2026. Facilities and capital projects were the main procurement-related topics: the district’s boiler replacement is underway, ADA work in the high school band room is nearly complete, and the turf field is nearing completion. The board also heard that a fence project was arranged through a direct contract after negotiation, with work expected to begin in the coming weeks. Carpet replacement at the intermediate school and Perry Hill office is being prepared for bidding, and the district is considering bids for a gym-floor project, potentially timed for winter break. District-wide backflow prevention devices were identified as a priority. No contract amounts or vendor names were provided, and no project award vote was recorded.

The superintendent reported that Shelton Intermediate School may be eligible for a school improvement grant after being identified for targeted improvement in English language arts for high-need students; the district must submit an evidence-based improvement plan, and no grant award was reported. The finance committee meeting was canceled while new accountants are brought on board. Policy revisions and bylaw amendments were moved to the next board meeting for consideration, rather than adopted at this meeting. The board also recognized teachers and schools for performance and heard routine school and committee reports.
