Guilford BOE - 7/13/2026

The Guilford Board of Education held a meeting on July 13, 2026, which included several procurement-related actions. The board approved waiving the bidding process for a capital lease due to the limited number of banks willing to enter into a tax-exempt municipal lease for the requested amount. They then authorized a lease purchase agreement for technology equipment and a maintenance vehicle, with a principal amount not to exceed $635,000. The board awarded the capital lease to Coagent Leasing and Financing, which submitted the lowest interest rates and payments compared to other proposals. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved expenditures for June 2026 totaling approximately $10.8 million and discussed budget utilization and capital expenditures. Other agenda items included ratification of teacher retirements and resignations, acceptance of a donation to cover student lunch debt, and reports on student health and safety, but no further procurement actions were taken.
