APS Board Meeting July 2026

The Alpena Public Schools Board meeting held on July 28, 2026, focused significantly on procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included the approval of a special education millage renewal resolution for a 10-year term at 1.2872 mills, intended to support special education programs and early intervention services across local districts. The board also approved fiscal appointments, including retaining the Trun Law Firm for legal services despite higher costs compared to alternatives, citing established relationships and expertise. Additionally, the board approved Staley Lamp and Krenline PC as the district's auditing firm for fiscal year 2026-27, authorized investment policies for school funds, designated financial institutions as depositories, and approved electronic funds transfer arrangements. Membership renewals with various educational and community organizations were also approved to support advocacy and community partnerships. The meeting concluded with acceptance of charitable donations and a move to closed session for employee relations matters, with no further procurement actions taken afterward.
