Board of Education meeting - July 1, 2026

The Bethlehem Board of Education held its organizational meeting on July 1, 2026. The meeting included the swearing-in of board members and officers, election of board president and vice president for the 2026-27 school year, and the constitution of board committees. The board approved various annual appointments, designations, and authorizations as recommended by the superintendent, including contractual action items and policy reviews such as the revised code of conduct. Personnel action items for professional and support staff were also approved. While the meeting covered routine governance and personnel matters, there were no specific procurement, contract awards, or budget allocation discussions identified in the transcript. The board also discussed supporting a local historian's grant application related to town history, which may involve future collaboration but did not involve direct procurement decisions at this time.
