November 5, 2026, Bedford Public Schools Board of Education Meeting.

At the November 5, 2026, Bedford Public Schools Board of Education meeting, the board approved the FY2026 audit, which the auditor described as clean and without findings, and approved the consent agenda, including bills for payment and financial reports. The board also approved a one-time $750 payment for district employees, to be paid December 4; one member recused themself. It unanimously accepted a community donation of airway-clearance devices and storage mounts for school buildings. The board unanimously approved a $425,000, no-contingency offer for the CTE program’s completed home at 7085 Maplewood Drive; the district estimated net proceeds of about $47,500 before accounting for the home’s construction costs.

The board discussed deteriorating tennis courts and a proposal to have a consultant prepare bid documents for resurfacing or replacement, with asphalt and post-tensioned concrete options; bidding was tentatively anticipated for February, with work targeted for summer 2027. The transcript does not clearly capture the final motion or vote on that item, and no construction contract was awarded. The district also reported that reduced SMART funding may increase its share of the cost of replacing health vans. Other approved items included limited virtual instruction days, a student overseas trip funded by participating families, and updated board policies. No other procurement award was identified.
