SD308 Board of Education Meeting (07/13/2026)

The SD308 Board of Education meeting held on July 13, 2026, focused extensively on procurement and budget-related matters, particularly concerning a proposed $317 million bond referendum aimed at addressing capital improvement needs across district facilities. The board reviewed survey results gauging community support for the bond, which would fund critical infrastructure upgrades such as HVAC systems, safety and security enhancements, and facility repairs. Discussions emphasized the importance of planned, systematic capital investments over emergency repairs to avoid disruptions and higher costs. The board also approved several procurement actions, including awarding the waste and recycling services contract to Groot Industries, approving the retaining wall replacement project at Asiggo High School to Cox Landscaping, and endorsing an ESL curriculum resources proposal. Additionally, the board authorized payment of bills totaling approximately $5.77 million and approved district fees for the 2026-27 school year. The meeting included updates on strategic plan progress, fee collection efforts, and intergovernmental agreements, with a focus on maintaining fiscal responsibility while supporting educational infrastructure and services.
