07.20.2026 Marshall Public Schools Board Meeting

The July 20, 2026 meeting of the Marshall Public Schools Board included several procurement and budget-related discussions primarily focused on facilities maintenance and capital improvement projects. The board received an update on the ongoing Marshall Middle School parking lot construction, which is progressing on schedule and within budget, with no contingency funds used so far. They also discussed a major upcoming roofing and facade restoration project for the Marshall High School and Middle School, with an estimated budget of $6.7 to $7.5 million. This project will be phased over two years and funded through a bond issuance of approximately $7.75 million, to be repaid over 11 years via levy funding without increasing the tax levy. The board was informed about the recent legislative change allowing the use of Long-Term Facility Maintenance (LTFM) funds for roofing projects, enabling this approach. Additionally, the board approved the consent agenda and bills for June, and reviewed the treasurer's report showing a positive fiscal year-end balance of about $1.8 million (unaudited). Presentations also highlighted community partnerships and fundraising efforts supporting educational programs, but no new vendor contracts or RFPs were specifically mentioned.
