Governance Committee Meeting

The Governance Committee of Racine Unified met on May 5, 2026, to review and discuss interpretations and indicators related to Operational Expectation 3 (OE 3), which focuses on facilities management and maintenance. Key procurement-related discussions included updates to language around environmental sustainability measures, including LEED compliance, and the establishment of benchmarks for facility cleanliness, safety, and equipment use guidelines. The committee also addressed the need for board approval on changes to school grade configurations and attendance boundaries, which could impact future capital improvement projects and maintenance planning. There was mention of ongoing preventative maintenance and capital facility improvement plans required by state administrative code, highlighting the prioritization of long-term maintenance and renovation work. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were discussed during this meeting. The committee deferred some agenda items to a future meeting due to time constraints.
