June 15, 2026 School Board Meeting

The Lewis Central Community School District held a school board meeting on June 15, 2026, where various topics were discussed including curriculum updates, student achievements, and ongoing construction projects. Significant procurement-related discussions included updates on construction and facility improvements such as roof replacement at the high school, LED lighting projects, mechanical upgrades, and the middle school expansion. The board reviewed bids and costs for storage buildings from Tri-State CarPorts totaling $33,755, with expedited delivery options. Fireproofing requirements for bleacher storage were also discussed, with Johnson Drywall awarded a contract for $32,350 to perform spray foam insulation and drywall work. The board considered options for fire-rated doors, opting for swinging doors as a cost-effective alternative to rollup garage doors. Additionally, the board reviewed insurance premium increases, including a 9% rise in property insurance and a minor increase in pollution liability insurance. Updates to student fees for the 2026-27 school year were approved, reflecting a state-mandated increase in adult lunch prices. The meeting also covered policy updates including student handbooks and strategic planning, but no formal votes on new contracts were recorded during this session.
