Ritenour School District Board of Education Meeting - Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026

Ritenour School District Board of Education meeting, November 12, 2026 (the title date; metadata lists November 13). The board discussed Proposition I capital projects: HVAC upgrades at elementary and middle schools and replacement of elementary-school windows, including related building-envelope work. Amresco had helped develop the projects, but the transcript does not capture a contract award, project cost, or vote on these proposals. The board approved a purchase of two gently used 2025 diesel buses for just under $273,000, described as the lowest and best price among eligible vendors. The purchase is expected to be covered by a $702,263 electric-school-bus tax credit; the discussion said remaining funds would go to reserves, though the amount stated was inconsistent. The purchase motion passed unanimously.

The board also approved continuing school resource officer agreements with St. Ann and Breckenridge Hills through the 2026–27 school year; the recorded vote included one no vote, with the motion passing. St. Ann’s four officers were cited at a cost of $244,000, while the other agreement’s cost was unclear in the transcript. The board approved reserving Shafer Arena for the 2029 high school graduation date, but no associated cost was stated. Other discussion covered early-childhood social-emotional learning, student feedback on technology, state school-reporting and funding changes, and district activities; no additional procurement decisions were clearly recorded.
