The Blaine County School District Board of Trustees held their regular meeting on May 12, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of funding for a new digital sign in partnership with the city of Kerry, with the school district agreeing to cover one-third of the approximately $338,000 cost. The board also authorized solicitation of up to $150,000 in grants and donations to install two new video boards in the Wood River High School gym, emphasizing student involvement and potential revenue generation through sponsorships. Additionally, the board reviewed capital improvement projects funded by the existing plant facility levy, including track resurfacing at Wood River Middle School with a budget near $188,000, roofing projects exceeding $1 million, and LED lighting upgrades. The board discussed project timelines, vendor selections, and budget allocations, approving motions to proceed with these initiatives. Other agenda items included updates on curriculum adoption, staffing, and negotiations, but no further procurement actions were taken.
