September 28, 2026 - Board Meeting

At its September 28, 2026 board meeting, the Dorchester School District Two Board of Trustees reviewed facilities and technology projects and approved a contract for the Beach Hill Elementary School HVAC replacement; the motion passed with six votes in favor and one member absent. In executive session, the board discussed contractual negotiations for land near Devon Road, then authorized the superintendent to negotiate and effectuate the purchase of land adjacent to Knightsville Elementary School. That motion also passed six to one, with one member absent. No dollar amount, vendor, or contract number was stated for either action.

Facilities staff reported that bids were expected in October for exterior wall work at the district office and roofing at Summerville Elementary, and described ongoing or planned HVAC, restroom and locker-room, parking-lot, track, tennis-court, and furniture projects. The district also plans an RFP to evaluate replacement school camera systems; officials said the existing system required approximately $300,000 in server replacements, while the cost of the proposed replacement remains undetermined. The finance report projected a 21.05% year-end fund balance against the board’s 18% goal. No other procurement approvals or spending votes were identified.
