School Board Meeting 7-14-2026

The Westfield Washington School Board held a meeting on July 14, 2026, focusing heavily on updates and approvals related to ongoing construction projects and operational improvements. Construction updates were provided for multiple school facilities, including Midland, Shamrock, Cool Creek Elementary, and high school athletic fields, with progress reports on building completions, site work, and infrastructure improvements such as sidewalks and a planned roundabout. The board approved a resolution to adopt Indiana Code 5-23, authorizing the use of the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) procurement method for public works projects, potentially expanding procurement options for future capital projects. Additionally, the board approved the implementation of the Boyce Cloud Employee Hub platform to improve operational efficiencies, citing a projected $17,000 return on investment. The board also approved the 2026-2027 food service meal fees and discussed policy updates including a new cell phone law affecting student device use during school hours and updates to drug and alcohol testing policies for employees operating district vehicles. No specific contract awards or vendor selections beyond the Boyce Cloud platform were detailed, but the meeting included significant procurement-related policy and project management decisions.
