BSD Board Meeting

The Belcourt School Board held a meeting on July 15, 2026, during which several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key topics included the approval of authorized signatories for school district bank accounts, appointments to various committees such as transportation, budget, construction facilities, and policy committees, and the review and approval of accounts payable totaling over $5 million. Board members raised concerns about expenditures related to contracts with local vendors, including cleaning services and construction-related work, emphasizing adherence to bidding policies and thresholds. A significant discussion focused on the approval of a rental use of a district school bus with a driver for Meckanauk Enterprises, specifically regarding transportation to establishments primarily serving alcohol. The board ultimately voted to deny the request due to liability and insurance concerns. Additionally, the board planned a special meeting to approve a time-sensitive hire. Overall, the meeting involved multiple motions and votes related to procurement policies, contract approvals, and budget oversight.
