BOE Meeting 2026.11.12

The Siloam Springs Public Schools Board of Education meeting, identified by its title as November 12, 2026, included two major spending actions. The board approved WYN Athletics’ $128,000 bid, including taxes, to install indoor turf at the Day Springs facility; six bids were received. The board also approved a resolution authorizing issuance and delivery of $17,410,000 in second-lien bonds on November 19. The bonds had been sold on October 21 at a 4.3% rate. A school addition project update covered design and agency reviews, with a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) anticipated early next year; no construction award was reported.

Administrators proposed a one-time $150 holiday bonus for guest teachers and classified substitutes who met a 30-day work threshold. A motion to approve is audible, but the transcript does not clearly capture a second or vote result. The board approved a policy update to support compensation for certain secondary teachers teaching more than 150 students. Other discussion included student achievement and celebrations, and personnel actions; no additional procurement awards were identified.
