GFPS Regular School Board Meeting (November 9th, 2026)

The Grand Forks Public Schools (GFPS) regular school board meeting was held November 9, 2026. Valley Middle School staff presented school-improvement goals, assessment data, and instructional and student-support programs. Procurement- and budget-related items included the school’s use of Title I funds for a reading interventionist, two behavior interventionists, professional development, and family-engagement supplies. Staff said they were seeking a math instructional paraprofessional and had discussed possibly purchasing math intervention and extension curriculum; no purchase or funding approval was requested or recorded. The presentation also noted the school’s air conditioning as a positive improvement, without discussion of a related project or expenditure.

The board approved the consent agenda and, separately, unanimously approved the superintendent’s evaluation and submitted scores; no procurement-specific contracts, bids, or awards were discussed. Board members also requested relevant policies ahead of a League of Women Voters forum. The meeting’s main focus was educational programs and school operations, with no identified procurement action.
