11-9-26 Monthly Board Meeting

Coeur d’Alene Public Schools’ monthly Board of Trustees meeting on November 9, 2026, included a procurement approval for Flow Analytics to support attendance-zone revisions affecting five elementary schools. The district reported that Skyway Elementary is operating at about 110% of building capacity (excluding portables), while other schools have available capacity. The board approved the contract by motion; the quoted amount was not stated. The district plans a committee and public-engagement process, with a recommendation targeted for the March 8 board meeting. Trustees discussed open enrollment, school capacity, and the possibility of grandfathering students during any boundary changes.

In a finance update, the district reported enrollment about 67 students above projections, with estimated support units of 459 compared with 454 budgeted and an estimated $780,000 increase in state funding. The annual audit was nearing completion, with a presentation expected in December; staff also planned to bring forward a one-time bonus recommendation for December payroll and an amended FY27 budget in January. Trustees noted that the local school levy had passed, and discussed an Idaho School Boards Association resolution to extend levy cycles from two years to four, which had passed at the association conference. The board also approved a policy revision replacing “continuous improvement plan” with “strategic performance plan.”
