Windham Board of Education Meeting - November 19, 2025

The Windham Board of Education held a meeting on November 19, 2025, primarily focused on organizational matters such as electing board officers and assigning committee chairs. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on capital improvement projects, notably the heating system repairs at Sweeney and Nachog schools, roof replacement plans for North Windham, and preliminary plans for solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations at several schools. The board also discussed scheduling changes for committee meetings to improve efficiency and coordination, with particular attention to the timing of finance and audit meetings to ensure up-to-date budget information is available. Additionally, the board received a report on the approval of $161,000 by the Board of Finance to underfund the workers' compensation portion, and authorized their attorney to proceed with a settlement on a pending workers' compensation claim. Curriculum planning and policy updates were also addressed, including the development of a five-year curriculum plan and policy revisions related to grade weighing and class ranking. No new contracts or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, but the discussions on capital projects and budget allocations indicate ongoing procurement activities.
