10/6/2026 Governing Board Meeting

The Liberty District Governing Board met on October 6, 2026. The board approved the FY 2025–26 Annual Financial Report 4–0 and received an annual update on bond and other capital-fund spending. The report described District Additional Assistance spending on software subscriptions, laptops, and maintenance equipment, with about $695,000 in budget carryover; nearly $1 million from adjacent-ways funds was spent on access and traffic-control work for School 8. The presentation also summarized bond-funded school improvements and noted that approximately $33 million in state new-school-facilities funding supported School 8. Staff reported that the district submitted its application for an electric-bus rebate and plans to seek a Verigee report documenting promised energy savings; no new capital contract award was made at this meeting.

The board discussed the delayed district website project with Juicebox Interactive, following the transition from Finalsite. A board member questioned the project timeline and cost structure, noting that the overall agreement was expected to exceed $100,000 and asking for a clearer financial breakdown. Juicebox offered an additional year of hosting and support because of the delay and agreed to provide that commitment in writing; the board requested an updated cost breakdown, but took no action on the website agreement. The board also approved Policy 4-1108, 4–0, requiring governing-board approval and written documentation before employees receive extra-duty pay for duties outside their regular responsibilities. The regular agenda and consent agenda were also approved.
