Board of Education Regular Board Meeting 6-7-2026

The Lansing School District Board of Education held a regular meeting on June 7, 2026, where key procurement and budget matters were discussed. Assistant Superintendent Kim Adams presented Amendment Number Two to the budget, highlighting a projected ending fund balance increase to approximately $42.2 million, with expenditure increases primarily due to special education staffing and school device purchases. The board approved this budget amendment and also passed the FY 2026-2027 tax levies resolution. Additionally, the board approved bids related to the demolition and abatement of Sheridan Road School and temporary fencing, with schematic designs for the new school to be presented at a future retreat. The meeting included discussions on special education staffing challenges, including a contract to supplement speech and language pathologists and social workers due to staffing shortages, with plans to hire more district employees in the future. No new contracts or RFPs were explicitly mentioned, but the board emphasized ongoing efforts to manage expenditures and staffing effectively. Other topics included personnel reports, policy revisions, and community engagement initiatives, but these did not involve direct procurement actions.
