The Waunakee School District Board of Education’s November 9, 2026 monthly meeting included several procurement and facilities items. The board approved moving forward with a preliminary outline for an RFP for student transportation, with a modification to item 7; this was not a contract award. The outline calls for a seven-year term, considers allowing terminals outside the district to broaden vendor participation, proposes increasing the fuel-clause threshold from $2.50 to $3.75 per gallon, and includes an option for non-diesel buses. Staff will develop the RFP for committee and full-board review in December before seeking proposals. The board also approved a nonexclusive partnership with BSN for athletics purchasing, with vendor quotes and use of district branding coordinated through the athletic director. The board approved smart-glass installation, estimated at $145,000–$160,000, for the new facility.

The facilities committee had recommended reconstructing the existing middle-school track, but the board delayed a decision to obtain further information on the options, costs, and facility use; additional costs would come from project savings. The board agreed to a $375 School Perceptions survey analysis, approved next summer’s course offerings, and heard that staff are reviewing registration-system vendors, with a selection expected by late November or early December. Public commenters raised concerns about student device and technology use; district leaders said a team is reviewing research and possible next steps, but no procurement decision was made on that issue.
