Regular Board Meeting 11/10/26

The School District of DeSoto County’s regular school board meeting on November 10, 2026, included approval of the superintendent’s agenda and routine business. The superintendent reported that a late addition to the agenda involved a purchase order for a student-recruitment/dropout-recovery effort, and board members recognized grant programs and related work listed in agenda items 10.2–10.6. No vendor award or specific dollar amount was identified in the transcript. The attorney is preparing a draft lease for Brownsville School for board review at the next meeting.

The superintendent reported that the apartments project was back on track and that discussions with OneStop Housing and its counsel would address the lease and next steps. The district is also exploring a potential partnership with Tampa General, including donated hospital beds for the high school nursing program; no commitment or purchase was reported. The new high school project was noted as progressing, and board members praised the recently launched district website. The transcript records motions and approvals but does not clearly identify a separate procurement award or expenditure authorization.
