Dodge City Public Schools - Board of Education Meeting November 9, 2026

The Dodge City Public Schools Board of Education meeting on November 9, 2026, included several purchasing approvals. The board approved renewal of Raptor Technologies’ district emergency-management software for calendar year 2027, funded through capital outlay; the transcript gives the amount as approximately $33,657, but the precise figure is unclear. It also approved bids for dishwashers for Dodge City Middle School and Ross Elementary, a mixer from Central Restaurant, and ovens for Dodge City High School from Sunflower Restaurant. The dishwasher total is garbled in the transcript, and amounts for the mixer and ovens were not stated. The board also approved the bills generally.

The board received a proposed memorandum of agreement with the City of Dodge City for school resource officers, with an estimated annual cost of $372,000, but approval was deferred to a future meeting pending review of additional language on camera-system use. The district’s budget update projected special-education expenditures of about $12 million this year, with state aid expected to decline to $4.6 million and a larger share covered by district funds. The Ford County Landmark Art Project also requested continued district participation; participating art classes receive $500 for supplies, supported by outside grants. No approval of that request was recorded in the transcript.
