The board approved annual school nutrition contracts for the 2026-27 school year, renewing some vendor contracts and awarding new bids for groceries, produce, milk, chemicals, and supplies, with no anticipated increase in student meal prices. Additionally, the board approved a new fire alarm maintenance contract with Insight Low Voltage, replacing the previous vendor due to growth and technology needs, with a focus on maintaining system reliability across the district's expanded facilities. The meeting also covered policy updates related to Title IX and student safety, and the beginning teacher support program was presented, emphasizing investment in teacher retention and development. The board voted to approve several policies on first and second readings and moved into closed session to discuss confidential personnel matters.
