The Ridgefield Schools Board of Directors held their regular meeting on September 22, 2026, where they discussed various educational and administrative updates. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of a contract with ESD12 for cooperative information management services, covering student information and fiscal business systems for the 2026-2027 school year, with a projected cost exceeding $100,000 due to enrollment increases. The board also approved several revised policies related to graduation requirements, student homelessness, military family student stability, student release procedures, and revenue sources, aligning with updated legislative and model policies. Additionally, first readings were conducted for policies on suspension and retirement of policies, board member insurance, and unemployment insurance, with further approvals anticipated at future meetings. The meeting emphasized ongoing efforts to improve student support systems, career and technical education expansion, and fiscal management, but no other direct procurement or capital project discussions were noted.
