P-CCS Board of Education Regular Meeting -- March 24, 2026

The P-CCS Board of Education held a regular meeting on March 24, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included the approval of a $650,547 contract with AstroTurf Great Lakes for the replacement of the East Stadium turf, funded through bond funds to avoid general fund expenditure. Additionally, the board approved purchases for classroom furniture for MS3 Discovery and paving work at Plymouth High School under bid package PCEP-6. The board also approved an intergovernmental fiber connectivity agreement with Northville Public Schools to enhance WAN infrastructure. Budget discussions focused on the 2026-2027 general fund budget development, highlighting projected state aid increases, enrollment declines, and the need to align staffing and expenditures accordingly. The board reviewed preliminary budget assumptions, including a potential $10 million budget alignment and considerations around new weighted student funding proposals for at-risk and English learner categorical funds. Capital improvement projects such as athletic facility upgrades, restroom construction, and parking lot repairs were also discussed as part of ongoing bond program efforts. The meeting included updates on curriculum improvements and community engagement, but the primary procurement focus was on contract awards and budget planning for the upcoming fiscal year.
