Bond, Finance, & Operations Committee of the Whole 11/10/2026

The Board of Education’s Bond, Finance, & Operations Committee of the Whole met on November 10, 2026. Staff reported that contracts for previously approved elementary school renovations were nearly ready, pending receipt of payment and performance bonds and insurance before signature. The summer abatement scope was being finalized for bidding. The committee discussed a multi-discipline assessment of the pool and aquatic facility, estimated at about $22,000 (the discussion also cited a range of roughly $20,000–$26,000); French was reportedly waiving a fee of about $4,000. Funding from bond proceeds was to be explored, but no assessment or repair contract was approved.

Operations reported a $6,793 quote from Michigan Fence for two gates at Marco Park; members supported moving the item forward, with discussion of bringing it to the next Board meeting, but no formal vote was recorded. Staff planned to seek Board action before December 31 on purchasing three buses for $473,799 using bond funds, and on selling three existing buses at the same prices. The committee also discussed purchasing interactive boards for elementary schools before anticipated industry price increases of 20–30%; no total cost or approval was stated. District-wide security upgrades and access controls were under review, with possible bids to be considered. No procurement votes or contract awards were recorded in the transcript.
