FZSD Board of Education - June 25th Meeting - 6/25/26

The FZSD Board of Education held a meeting on June 25, 2026, where they discussed and approved several procurement and budget-related items for the upcoming school year. Key procurement decisions included the approval of a $95,000 purchase of interactive TVs to replace projectors in classrooms undergoing HVAC construction, leveraging existing electrical work to reduce costs. The board also approved modest price increases for student meal programs and renewed contracts with several food and beverage distributors, including Pepsico, Prairie Farms, and Acola Wholesale, with adjustments reflecting current CPI food indexes. Additionally, budget adjustments for the 2025-2026 fiscal year were approved to better align expenses with actual spending, particularly in transportation and tuition. The board also approved insurance plan renewals for 2026-2027, including a slight increase in PPO deductibles and copays, while maintaining multi-year contracts for dental and vision services. These actions reflect careful financial management and preparation for the next school year, balancing cost control with necessary upgrades and service continuity.
