November 9, 2026 Freeman School Board Meeting

Freeman School District 33-1 held its school board meeting on November 9, 2026. No major contract awards, bids, or capital spending approvals were identified. The business manager reported that an additional card reader had been ordered for concessions; the vendor and cost were not stated. The superintendent discussed overspray from track resurfacing that left particles on vehicles in the school parking lot. The resurfacing company is offering no-cost vehicle cleaning or a process for assessment and reimbursement through its insurance. The district also reported that responsibility and corrective work for drainage issues around a storage facility remain unresolved. Students presented a proposal for a school-owned speaker and iPad in the weight room, supported by a Freeman Community Foundation grant contingent on a policy change; a Spotify subscription was estimated at $14.99 per month. The board did not approve the proposal at this meeting, and the weight room policy was tabled pending updates.

The board approved the amended agenda, consent agenda (including financial reports and claims), the public-access gymnasium Bluetooth credentials application, and the 2026–27 continuous school improvement plan. It also agreed not to host Freeman Regional’s gala if alcohol would be served, while indicating it could reconsider if alcohol were excluded. The wellness policy discussion considered allowing students with meal-account balances below negative $30 per student to continue receiving hot meals without seconds, but no approval was recorded. Job descriptions were moved to unfinished business for the next meeting.
