Board of Education Meeting: June 15, 2026 at 6:30 PM

The Auburn-Washburn USD 437 Board of Education held a meeting on June 15, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions included the recommendation and approval process for a unified communication platform. After evaluating eight vendors through a diverse committee, the board unanimously recommended moving forward with ParentSquare, a platform designed to streamline communication between coaches, teachers, students, and parents. The contract is proposed to cost approximately $30,000 annually, with funding recommended from the capital outlay budget. Additionally, the board approved instructional resources and lab supplies for science totaling $97,690.97, and maintained current food service prices for the 2026-2027 school year. Several board policies were updated to ensure compliance with new laws, and motions related to student appeals and out-of-district attendance were approved. The meeting also included executive sessions to discuss student, personnel, and budget matters.
