FMSD Open Session - Board Meeting - 05/26/2026

The Franklin-McKinley School District Board Meeting held on May 26, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and decisions. The board approved consent items including contracts over $25,000 without objections. A bid protest was presented by Baron Contracting challenging the award of a plumbing contract to John Plumbing Inc., citing a defective bid bond and requesting the contract be awarded to Baron Contracting instead. The board pulled the related construction item for further clarification and legal review. Additionally, the board discussed compensation for board members, reviewing comparative data from other districts and considering a potential increase from the current stipend of $285 to $600, with no final decision made but direction given to bring a formal proposal forward. Other agenda items included enrollment projections and communications strategies, but no direct procurement actions were taken on those. The meeting concluded with various board member reports and future agenda item requests.
