# August 10, 2026 - Regular Meeting

The Longview Public Schools held a regular meeting on August 10, 2026, focusing primarily on the presentation and discussion of the 2026-27 budget and a four-year budget forecast. The business manager and inter-business manager detailed the general fund and other funds including capital projects, debt service, associated student body, and transportation vehicle funds. Key procurement-related topics included the capital projects fund supported by local voter-approved levies for facilities and technology projects, and the transportation vehicle fund for bus fleet maintenance and purchases, noting legislative changes affecting bus depreciation schedules. The board approved the consent agenda which included contract awards for the 2026-27 warehouse paper bid and warrants. Additionally, the meeting addressed policy revisions informed by an independent report related to student safety and misconduct, specifically focusing on interscholastic activities and child abuse prevention policies. The board scheduled a special meeting for the second reading of these policies, with public input encouraged. Several board members and public commenters expressed concerns about the rushed timeline for policy adoption and the need for broader stakeholder involvement. No specific contract awards beyond the warehouse paper bid were detailed, but the budget discussions and capital projects levy indicate ongoing procurement and capital improvement activities.
