Board of Education Real Estate Meeting 8/17/2026

The Saint Louis Public Schools Board of Education Real Estate Meeting held on August 17, 2026, focused extensively on updates and progress related to capital improvement projects funded through bond issues, particularly Proposition S. Presentations from contractors Amaresco and Train highlighted energy performance contracting work, including HVAC system upgrades, restroom renovations, and lighting improvements across multiple schools, with an emphasis on no change orders charged to the district and guaranteed energy savings. The meeting also discussed the district's efforts to engage minority and women-owned business enterprises (MWBE) in these projects. Additionally, the board reviewed ongoing real estate sales efforts, including marketing strategies and pricing considerations for surplus school properties, and discussed a draft Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to solicit developer interest in district real estate. The meeting concluded with plans to continue capital planning based on facility condition assessments and educational needs, with no immediate procurement decisions but clear direction on future contracting and development activities.
