Liberty Public Schools Board of Education meeting, July 21, 2026. The board approved the amended agenda, removing the Adidas America contract from the consent agenda for further review and adding an updated 2026–27 classified salary schedule. It approved consent agenda items 3.1–3.8, then separately approved the CTI contract for audio equipment and a memorandum of understanding with Liberty Alliance for Youth. The district also reported that a cloud-based Guardian system for tracking and managing Title IX, Title VII, and other HR investigations would replace spreadsheets and Google Docs; no contract amounts were stated. National speech and debate tournament expenses were approved, with one board member abstaining. No dollar amounts or contract numbers were provided for these approvals.

Operations staff reported ongoing construction and facility work, including building renovations, restroom upgrades, and roof work, but no related spending approvals were taken at this meeting. Finance staff reported the first state payment was about $5 million below full funding and discussed lower-than-expected assessed valuation and state funding shortfalls. After public comments raised concerns about potential school funding cuts from Amendment 5, the board approved a board statement; its text was not included in the transcript.
