The PLSD Board of Education held a regular meeting on June 29, 2026, focusing on several key educational and operational topics. Significant procurement-related discussions included approval of contracts such as a $3.6 million contract with the Educational Service Center for preschool and psychological services, a contract with Tavco for patching and painting at the new kindergarten center, and a $72,000 annual two-year contract with Milestone Benefits Agency for self-insured healthcare plan administration, which is expected to save $8,000 annually. The board also approved a purchase of 300 iPads specifically for nurses to support medication administration and specialized student services. Additionally, the board discussed budget forecasts related to income tax levies to support district funding, with considerations of a 0.75% income tax for 10 years to address projected deficits and maintain financial stability. Other procurement-related items included approval of special education contracts and a revised contract for the I Ready educational program, which reduced costs by approximately $149,000. Policy updates and administrative staffing reductions were also approved, reflecting ongoing efforts to manage expenses and maintain educational quality. The meeting included presentations on program transitions and partnerships, but no new major capital improvement projects or large-scale vendor selections were reported.
