ISD 728 School Board Livestream Live Stream

The ISD 728 School Board held a regular meeting on February 9, 2026, which included student recognitions, public comments on school safety and district policies, and multiple reports from the superintendent and various committees. Significant procurement-related discussions focused on facilities and capital improvement projects, including bid awards for lighting, finishing, plumbing, classroom renovations, kitchen upgrades, and theater work at several schools. These projects are part of ongoing referendum and LTFM (Long-Term Facilities Maintenance) plans and are within budget. The board approved motions to award these bids. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved a budget reduction and adjustments totaling approximately $4.99 million for the 2026-27 fiscal year, with a focus on conservative forecasting and maintaining classroom staffing promises. A revised 2025-26 budget was also presented for informational purposes, with final approval scheduled for a special meeting on February 23, 2026. Other financial reports covered various funds including food service, community education, building construction, debt service, and insurance funds. The board discussed the importance of managing fund balances and legislative efforts related to fund transfers. No new policies were adopted during this meeting, but some were under review. The board also received updates on curriculum adoption and achievement integration plans, with future approvals planned.
