09/10/2026 LCSD School Board Meeting

The Lebanon Community School District Board meeting on September 10, 2026, focused on prioritizing capital projects; no capital spending decision or vote was made. Administrators said the district has about $1.1 million available for capital work and requested more time to provide building-level priorities, cost estimates, and recommendations on how much to spend versus reserve. The board discussed required LED lighting upgrades by 2030, possible Energy Trust grant support, and fire-alarm replacements estimated at roughly $150,000 per school, with the high school estimated at about $500,000. Members requested specific estimates for LED work and a clearer short- and long-term facilities plan; a work session was planned for November 12. Green Acres was identified as having major needs, including a failing sewer line, roof repairs, and inadequate space for its life-skills program.

The board also discussed whether to explore selling the district’s Waterloo property and relocating district operations. The main property was estimated at $400,000–$500,000, with an additional portion estimated at $100,000–$150,000; no decision was made, and community members asked for more information about the property and any original donation conditions. The superintendent also began an update on a possible prefabricated high-school stadium rebuild with booster-club fundraising support, but the transcript cuts off before the project’s cost range is stated. The annual student investment accounts report was informational, and no related spending action was taken.
