Regular Board Meeting Jun 16, 2026

The Mountain Home School District #193 held a regular board meeting on August 29, 2026, which included discussions on procurement and budget matters. The board reviewed and approved annual increases in meal prices for breakfast and lunch, citing rising food costs and compliance with federal requirements such as the Paid Lunch Equity tool. The proposed budget was presented, detailing revenues from local, state, and federal sources totaling over $34 million, with expenses including benefits, purchased services, supplies, and capital expenditures. The board also discussed the potential discontinuation of membership in the Idaho School Boards Association (ISBA) due to concerns about the value and support provided, particularly regarding legal and policy services, and considered alternative policy service providers. Additionally, updates were given on capital improvement projects, including the awarding of a construction bid for the high school and upcoming site visits related to federal reviews and construction planning. No formal votes on procurement contracts were explicitly recorded in the transcript, but motions regarding ISBA membership were considered.
