February 17th, 2026 Regular Board Meeting

The Butte School District #1 held its regular board meeting on February 17, 2026. Key procurement and budget-related discussions included the approval of the 2025-2026 RSVP contract for coordinator Don English, funded by a federal grant, and the approval of stipends for PAX partner coaching funded through tax grant and Title 4A funds. The board also approved the disposal of obsolete K3 core reading materials, potentially selling them to Ramsey. A memorandum of understanding was approved with VU Silver County School District for election services, with the county running the election and the district reimbursing expenses. The board approved the turf replacement project at Nanchi Stadium, awarding the contract to Shaw Company following a bid review by Wet Technologies. Additionally, the board approved an increase in driver's education fees from $280 to $300 to cover rising costs and authorized the hiring and advertising for 2026 driver's education instructors. Several policy updates were reviewed, including changes to records request fees and student safety policies, but these did not directly involve procurement actions.
