The Middletown City School District Board of Education held a business meeting on September 28, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related matters were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included the renewal of property, casualty, and liability insurance contracts with AFM and Brighton Specialty, with a slight overall cost increase of about $6,000. The board also approved a new contract with the Council of Governments Resource Center to provide temporary payroll support and process improvements, capped at $20,000 for the year. Additionally, the board approved a contract with VSWC Architects for comprehensive district building assessments, including structural and capacity evaluations, to inform future facility planning and capital budgeting. This assessment is expected to be completed within 60 to 90 days and aims to provide a clear roadmap for maintenance and potential property decisions. The meeting also included discussions on data privacy agreements for educational technology and updates on personnel and committee activities. No new bids or RFPs were presented, but the board emphasized ongoing efforts to improve financial controls and strategic planning related to district facilities and technology contracts.
