April Regular Board Meeting 042026

The Caledonia Community Schools held their April Regular Board Meeting on April 24, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of several contracts and purchases: the board approved the purchase of 1,100 student Chromebooks and Google licenses from CWDG for $345,750 using general fund dollars; contracted Mark of the Z for HVAC boiler replacement and Control Solutions Inc. for HVAC controls at Paris Ridge Elementary School at a cost of $93,641; and approved a contract with Lakeshore Learning for preschool furniture procurement, delivery, and installation at a cost of $189,905.12. Additionally, the board reviewed a first reading of a contract recommendation with River City Flooring and Tarkett Flooring for early childhood center flooring replacement and repairs, estimated at $280,000, to be funded through public improvement funds rather than bond money. The board also discussed the Scotland Yard project, seeking direction to proceed with design and bidding for a new competition space at the high school campus, noting potential cost savings compared to renovating the existing site. Public comments focused heavily on the poor condition and safety concerns of the district's tennis courts, with multiple speakers urging the board to prioritize repairs and improvements to provide safe, quality facilities for student athletes. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
