DCG School Board Meeting - Monday, September 28

The Dallas Center-Grimes Community School District Board meeting, held September 29, 2026, approved an emergency agenda addition and the AIA A101-2017 agreement with Accurate Commercial for the Operations Campus/IT construction project. The agreement was described as the low-bid contract and was approved by voice vote; no contract amount was stated. The board also approved the consent agenda, including renewal of the Velocity Chemical Services contract for districtwide chemical-management tracking and safety information, at an annual cost discussed as approximately $4,600–$5,100. Bills were approved, but the transcript gives no details. The board approved conveyance of real property to the City of Grimes.

The board approved the FY2025–26 certified annual report and requests to the School Budget Review Committee for supplemental authority related to a special-education deficit of $2,517,673.22 and allowable limited-English-proficiency costs. The financial review noted approximately $60 million in capital-project bond proceeds and a capital-project fund balance of about $55 million at year-end. The district reported that secure-entry work at Northridge and Dallas Center Elementary was nearing completion and that the Operations Campus project was moving ahead. A report item concerning two new bus purchases appears at the end of the transcript, but the vote and outcome are cut off. Separately, the Education Foundation announced a $6,000 donation to the Career Tech Education Program; this was a donation, not a district procurement award.
