School Board November 2026

Jefferson Joint School District 251 Board of Trustees meeting, Rigby, Idaho, November 12, 2026. The board approved a three-year MagicSchool AI agreement totaling approximately $137,000, with about $10,000–$12,000 expected in the current year. The district plans to use designated federal funds and potentially offset costs by phasing out other curriculum software. The agreement’s price is locked in, and the district said it can cancel in any year; professional development and broader staff rollout are planned for next school year. The board also approved the Rigby High Art Department fundraiser, which had already raised approximately $11,000, and approved the financial and personnel consent agendas. The proposed Rigby High theater lighting upgrade was tabled while the school awaits funding. The board approved two policies on second reading and adopted board operating protocols; no related procurement was discussed.
