Brookings School Board January Meeting - 1/12/2026

The Brookings School Board held its January meeting on January 12, 2026, where several procurement-related matters were discussed. The board approved the acceptance of various donated items from local businesses and individuals supporting early childhood, gymnastics, and disability awareness programs. They also approved declaring certain old equipment as surplus to clear space in the high school boiler area, with the intent to offer usable items to other districts or organizations. A significant agenda item was the approval to solicit bids for the high school roof replacement project, with plans to advertise the RFP and review bids by the March meeting. Additionally, the board approved a new election agreement with the county for use of voting equipment and cost-sharing arrangements. Other business included policy updates, appointment of a board member to the Associated School Boards of South Dakota Legislative Action Network, and the renewal of the high school principal's contract. The meeting concluded with a move to executive session to discuss negotiations, with no further public action anticipated.
