Livonia Public Schools Committee Meeting, November 9 2026

The Livonia Public Schools Board of Education Committee of the Whole meeting on November 9, 2026, included an external audit presentation and reviews of operations and policy items. Plante Moran reported an unmodified opinion, no internal-control findings, and no significant unfavorable budget variances. The committee reviewed a recommendation to award the Garfield Thrive Track site-work bid to Cortus Brothers Trucking and Excavating; the project is funded by a $750,000 state grant, with outdoor fitness equipment to be competitively bid separately. The district also recommended purchasing seven Bluebird buses from Holland Bus Company for $997,888, funded through the bond fund.

For 2027 roofing work, the committee reviewed recommended awards to Lutz Roofing, Royal Roofing, and Summit Point. The four-project base total is $3,116,125, with a $186,975 contingency, for a total recommended authorization of $3,303,100 from the district’s sinking fund. These procurement recommendations were slated for consideration at the November 16 regular board meeting; no votes were taken at this committee meeting. Members also discussed proposed revisions to student driving and motorized-device rules, employee gifts, and conflicts of interest, with policy items moving toward first reading rather than adoption.
