AASD Board of Directors Regular School Board Meeting

The Altoona Area School District Board of Directors held a regular school board meeting on January 13, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a one-year renewal contract with ERIT for cybersecurity advisory services valued at $57,948.75, and authorization to issue multiple requests for proposals (RFPs) for capital improvement projects such as partial roof replacement at Baker Elementary School, gutter and downspout replacement at Pleasant Valley Elementary School, and fire alarm system replacement. Additional RFPs were approved for services including managed print services, photography, garbage removal and recycling, and weed control and fertilization, with payments for capital projects to be made from the district's capital reserve fund. The board also approved various personnel and volunteer items, grant submissions, and field trips. Motions to approve these procurement actions were passed unanimously. The meeting included updates on academic programs, attendance improvements, and community engagement, but no new budget allocations were detailed beyond the contract and capital reserve fund expenditures.
