Board Meeting January 7th 2026

The WSD Boardroom held a board meeting on January 7, 2026, primarily focused on educational program reviews, recognitions, and financial matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of adjustments to the 2021 general obligation bond proceeds, specifically adding a $3.8 million warehouse remodel project as a priority within the revised bond plan. This adjustment was necessary to comply with state code and avoid arbitrage payments, with approximately $5.4 million remaining from the bond proceeds. The board also approved the 2026 and January 2027 meeting dates, including a budget meeting scheduled for June 10, 2026. Additionally, the board received and approved the final audited financial statements for the district, which reported a clean opinion on financials and federal fund administration. Public comments focused heavily on the dual language immersion (DLI) program, with concerns raised about class size equity and program continuation, but no direct procurement actions related to these programs were noted. The meeting concluded with the adoption of new and revised policies related to research projects and animals in schools.
