Boise Schools Board Meeting - November 9th, 2026

The Boise School District Board of Trustees meeting on November 9, 2026, included several procurement-related policy updates. At first reading, trustees reviewed proposed revisions to policy 7210 on disposal of surplus property, including procedures based on whether items are valued below or at least $500, and policy 7322 and regulation 7324R1 on purchasing thresholds, competitive bids, quotations, and contract procedures. No votes were taken on those first-reading items. The board approved policy 7340 on petty cash and procurement cards, effective retroactively to July 1, 2026, to clarify allowable purchases, approval requirements, and consequences for violations. It also approved policy 4310 on projects, solicitations, and advertising, effective July 1, 2027; the policy requires consistency with district values and clarifies that accepting advertising does not imply district endorsement. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were identified.

The board also discussed facility-leasing fees and revenue. The district reported approximately $65,000 in revenue and described full rates for for-profit users, a 60% rate for qualifying nonprofits, and circumstances in which fees may be waived. Revenue is divided 60% for facilities and operations maintenance and 40% for schools; outside renters are required to provide insurance. The discussion did not result in a vote or a new spending allocation.
