Royal Oak School Board Meeting - August 13, 2026

The Royal Oak Schools Board of Education held a regular meeting on August 13, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. The board approved the purchase of Black Girl Math Chick and Math Equals Me intervention materials for the 2026-2027 school year at a cost of $35,150 to support math instruction and intervention. Additionally, an emergency contract award was approved for $45,291.99 to Johnson Controls Building Solutions LLC for repairs to the cooling tower at Royal Oak Middle School, following emergency purchasing provisions. The board also reviewed personnel changes, including resignations and new hires, and discussed enrollment increases prompting the addition of kindergarten sections. The meeting included updates on school construction and facilities, with certificates of occupancy obtained for some buildings. The board expressed appreciation for community support of a millage that passed locally but was rejected regionally, which would have provided approximately $3.7 million in funding. Overall, the meeting focused on ensuring operational readiness for the upcoming school year, approving necessary purchases, and maintaining fiscal stewardship of the district's $88 million budget.
