1/22/26 Board of Education

The January 22, 2026, Board of Education meeting for the Forest Hills School District covered a wide range of topics including student activities, strategic planning, and district updates. Significant procurement-related discussions included the approval of consent agenda items covering financial reports, donations, and capital improvement projects. The treasurer provided a five-year forecast and noted stable expenditures with the district able to cover operations for 124 days. The board also discussed technology procurement, specifically a master lease agreement for approximately 1,100 Chromebooks, which had been reviewed by legal counsel. Additionally, the board addressed concerns about an external educational event called "History Rocks," which was ultimately rescheduled due to lack of proper vetting and community concerns. The board emphasized the importance of transparent communication and adherence to policies for outside speakers and events. No contract awards or new vendor selections were reported, but the meeting highlighted ongoing efforts to improve strategic planning, student engagement, and district operations.
