Mehlville School District Board of Education Meeting - August 20, 2026

The Mehlville School District Board of Education met on August 20, 2026. Facilities Director Mike Gagg reported on Prop S and summer capital projects, including restroom renovations, security fencing, fire-alarm work, HVAC upgrades, library carpeting, site lighting, parking-lot improvements, playgrounds, roof replacements, and the Oakville ballfield. Most projects were complete or progressing; several had fall or December 2026 completion targets. Icon was identified in connection with HVAC work, and ATG was referenced in the parking-lot update. The board also received a federal-programs funding report describing planned uses for Title I–IV funds, including reading-teacher salaries, staff development, language support, student services, and technology; Title IV funding was reported to be $30,000 higher. No new contract award or procurement vote was clearly identified in the transcript.

The board approved the agenda, year-end financial statements, and consent agenda items by unanimous votes, without procurement details for the consent items. The financial report noted a $350,000 operating gain, approximately $1 million better than forecast, alongside a $740,000 tax-collection shortfall; the district discussed using a more conservative tax-collection assumption and potentially adding funds to the capital fund. The meeting also included reports on staff professional development and the start of the school year.
