Kettering Board of Education Regular Session Meeting 10-20-2026

At its October 20, 2026 regular session, the Kettering City Schools Board of Education reviewed the Future Ready Facilities master plan, including conceptual designs for a new middle school at the Fairmont campus, site and traffic changes, and athletic and learning spaces. The presentation was an update, not an approval of a construction contract. The board approved the business services agenda, which included replacement of the fire panel at Kettering Fairmont High School; no vendor or cost was stated. The board also heard that a contract for abatement at Van Buren Middle School was expected to come before it at a future meeting, but it was not approved at this session.

The Kettering City Schools Forward Foundation reported awarding four building and equipment grants totaling $30,500 in 2026. These included support for school innovation and flexible learning spaces and student study/lounge furniture at the Kettering Recreation Complex; the awards were made by the foundation, not through a district procurement vote. The board also approved a superintendent contract addendum. A first reading of policy revisions included provisions on public-fund use, third-party contractors, and notification regarding instructional software contracts; no action was taken on those policies at this meeting.
