# 2026 September STOH Regular Board Meeting

The STOH School Board held its regular meeting on September 16, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The board conducted a preliminary hearing on proposed capital projects financed through a $6.8 million general obligation bond issue, with no tax increase expected due to retiring prior debt. The bond is planned for repayment within one year, with estimated interest rates around 4%. The board also approved letters of engagement for legal services from Tabber Law Office and Ice Miller. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved the 2027 budget, capital projects plan, and bus replacement plan, with a public hearing scheduled for final adoption in October. Bids for mechanical bleachers and HVAC work were reviewed, with the recommendation to award the mechanical contract to ACMS Group for $1.15 million. The board accepted a $47,020 secured school safety grant to fund a school resource officer and approved multiple donations totaling over $25,000 for various school programs. Staff professional leave requests and personnel appointments were also approved. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of community support following recent storm recovery efforts and reminders of upcoming meetings.
