Special Board Meeting - 6/25/26

The Iowa City School Board held a special meeting on June 25, 2026, during which they approved a contract proposal with Wickstead and Company for communication services, to be funded from the general funds. The board also discussed and approved the application process for a new financial oversight committee, including appointing Director Eastham as the board representative to the nominating committee. A significant portion of the discussion focused on the weighting criteria for evaluating applicants, with debate over emphasizing financial and technical expertise versus community perspective. Ultimately, the board agreed to adjust the rubric to increase the weight of financial expertise while maintaining other evaluation factors. Both motions were passed unanimously.
