TCAPS Board of Education Regular Meeting 9.14.26 - LIVE

The TCAPS Board of Education held a regular meeting on September 14, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions focused on the approval of a hybrid HVAC system upgrade for Central Grade School. The board reviewed bids from Johnny Green Company and Shoreline Power totaling approximately $568,669 for the purchase and installation of rooftop heat pump chillers as part of a hybrid heating and cooling system. Community fundraising efforts have already pledged over $411,000 toward the equipment cost, with ongoing efforts to cover the full project cost to avoid using bond or general fund dollars. The board approved the HVAC alternate one bid package and authorized the superintendent to continue collaborating with the community on fundraising and grant applications. Additionally, the board certified delegates for the Michigan Association of School Boards 2026 Delegate Assembly and approved the appointment of a co-chair for the sex education advisory board. Other discussions included updates on summer school programs, curriculum committee reports, and legislative monitoring, but no other direct procurement actions were taken.
