USD253 Board Meeting 2026-06-10

The USD253 Board Meeting held on June 10, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. The board approved the purchase of the Speed Dial developmental assessment tool for $3,780 and a three-year contract for the Studies Weekly social studies resource totaling $52,926.98. Additionally, the board received a presentation from Trane regarding an investment grade audit for HVAC and energy efficiency improvements across district facilities, with a preliminary budget estimate of around $20.4 million for LED and controls optimization projects. The presentation outlined the potential for energy savings, financing options through energy performance contracting, and the impact of local tax abatements on district funding. No immediate contract awards were made for the Trane project, but the board was asked to consider authorizing the investment grade audit as a next step. Other agenda items included updates on preschool program assurances, student assessment data, and the Foothills Virtual Program Handbook addendum. The meeting concluded with motions to enter and exit executive sessions and scheduling of future board retreat dates.
