September 2026 Regular Board Meeting

The September 16, 2026, regular board meeting of Rowan Schools primarily focused on the process for conducting a superintendent search, with detailed discussion led by a KSBA facilitator outlining the screening committee formation, timeline, and confidentiality requirements. The board voted to approve the use of KSBA services for the superintendent search, initiating the process but planning to begin advertising after the new year to attract a stronger applicant pool. Additional procurement-related topics included approval of regular business items, monthly claims, and consent agenda items such as surplus culinary items and athletic representative appointments. The board also approved adding a middle school wrestling team with associated coaching staff, noting potential future funding needs for uniforms and equipment. Updates on instructional goals, attendance, enrollment, and facility planning were provided, but no specific contract awards or capital projects were approved during this meeting.
