9-14-26 Monthly Board Meeting

The Coeur d'Alene Public Schools Board of Trustees held their regular monthly meeting on September 14, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the board's decision not to pursue an emergency levy despite increased student attendance, as the district believes it can accommodate growth within existing resources. The board approved the sale of the Locust property to the city of Coeur d'Alene's water department to provide a buffer zone around a well, with due diligence ongoing regarding potential irrigation use of a test well. Several revised policies were advanced to the public comment period, including updates related to elections, district planning, board development, and school year calendar adjustments to comply with state code changes. Additionally, committee appointments were made for long-range planning, negotiations, and the student advisory group. The meeting also featured a presentation on a youth survey initiative aimed at addressing root causes of student substance use and mental health issues, though this was informational and not procurement-related. The board concluded with an executive session on trade and legal matters.
