Urbandale CSD School Board Meeting 07.13.26

The Urbandale Community School District held a school board meeting on July 13, 2026, focusing on several procurement and budget-related topics. Key discussions included the administrative office relocation project, where the board debated between renovating the existing Rolling Green building or demolishing it to build a new facility, with detailed cost estimates, construction timelines, and zoning considerations presented. The board ultimately voted to proceed with the demolition and new build option. Additionally, the board approved contracts for service agreements related to HVAC chiller maintenance at the high school and Formstead, funded through the physical plant equipment levy. The meeting also covered the approval of a video board installation project with bids reviewed and a recommendation to accept a bid including alternates. Other procurement actions included setting a public hearing for disposal of high school lockers and approving a contract for an elevation data management system to support English learner services. The board also discussed and approved a new policy for club sponsor compensation to bring consistency and fairness to stipends for extracurricular supervision. Several motions related to these procurement and budget items were passed by roll call vote during the meeting.
