August 11, 2026 Regular Board of Directors Meeting

The Ridgefield Schools Board of Directors held their regular meeting on August 11, 2026. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of the 2026-2027 budget resolution, which outlined the district's fiscal plan including capital levies and bond repayments. The board also approved an interdistrict cooperative educational services agreement with Kelso School District to allow up to three Ridgefield high school juniors or seniors to participate in a fire science program. Additionally, the board discussed updates to policies related to board member compensation and student travel and field trip guidelines, focusing on clarifying compensation for board activities and ensuring student safety and financial accessibility for off-campus learning experiences. No new contracts or bids were presented, but the budget approval and interdistrict agreement represent significant procurement and spending decisions for the district.
