School Board Work Session 7-28-2026

The Westfield Washington Schools Board held a work session on July 28, 2026, focusing on several procurement and capital improvement initiatives. The board approved the legal advertisement and issuance of an RFP for a Build Operate Transfer (BOT) project related to a middle school construction, in compliance with Indiana code. They also approved a resolution to purchase property at 408 Deerwalk Trace for future district growth and declared approximately 350 laptops as surplus property. Additionally, the board approved a three-year contract with ParentSquare, a comprehensive K-12 communication platform, to replace existing systems, with a first-year cost of $67,462.50. Updates were provided on transportation operations, including staffing needs and route efficiencies, and extensive discussion was held on ongoing and planned construction projects at Westfield High School, including athletic facilities, parking, and academic additions. The board was informed about phased construction plans, budget considerations, and efforts to maintain operational continuity during renovations. No specific contract awards beyond the ParentSquare agreement were noted, but the meeting included significant planning and procurement-related decisions affecting future capital projects and technology acquisitions.
