GFPS Board Meeting Recording - 05/26/2026

The Great Falls Public Schools Board of Trustees held a meeting on May 26, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. The board reviewed and approved the financial report and check register for April 2026. A significant procurement action involved the approval of a new natural gas contract for the 2026-2029 school years, following an RFP process and market analysis. The board approved a rate proposal from Summit Energy with a 24-hour expiration due to market volatility. Additionally, discussions touched on funding and budgeting for capital improvement projects such as turf and light replacements at Memorial Stadium, with costs estimated around $500,000, to be funded through revenue enhancement and building reserve funds rather than the general fund. Policy updates related to safety, hiring, and advertising were also reviewed, with some debate on advertising policies at school facilities. The meeting featured presentations from various student organizations and career technical education programs, highlighting their achievements and community involvement, but these did not involve procurement decisions.
