Cedar Falls Board of Education Meeting, November 9, 2026

The Cedar Falls Community School District Board of Education meeting was held November 9, 2026. The board held a public hearing on the Peet and Holmes Junior High additions and renovations, then considered the proposed plans, specifications, and contract form. The project includes filling in the pools at both schools and other planned work, including a Holmes kitchen remodel, to address space needs. Bids are scheduled to be received December 1 and 8, with recommendations expected at the December meeting; no vendor or award was identified in the transcript. The district said the work would be funded from existing sales-tax and PPEL balances, with no expected effect on property taxes, and estimated about a year and a half of construction, targeting use by the 2028–29 school year. The transcript does not clearly capture the final vote on the project item.

The board approved 2027–28 administrative-cost requests to the School Budget Review Committee of $3,095.48 for the LEAD Center and $31,781.24 for the River Hills Consortium. It also approved a resolution to consider continuing the district’s instructional support program for another five years and to set a public hearing; the roll-call vote was unanimous. The second reading of financial-management policies was also approved. October financial reports were presented, including general-fund revenue of just over $9.1 million and expenditures of about $6.37 million. No vendor selections or other contract awards were reported.
