# BHS: Board of Education Meeting September 28,2026

The Bloomfield Hills Schools Board of Education held its regular meeting on September 28, 2026. The board approved adopting FOSS Pathways as the grades 3–5 science curriculum and authorized a $121,559 purchase of related resources from the general fund. Staff said teachers had piloted and selected the program; annual replenishment of consumables is estimated at $20,000–$30,000, depending on use. The board also discussed kindergarten class sizes and paraprofessional support, but made no staffing or budget allocation decision. Financial stewardship and superintendent goals were discussed, including maintaining a balanced budget and a 15–20% general-fund balance, with allowance for board-authorized strategic use of fund balance.

The board waived the first reading and adopted Policy 608, prohibiting electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, scooters, and other personal motorized mobility devices on district property; both actions passed. It named the facility at 31000 Lone Pine Road the Bloomfield Hills Schools Robotics Center. The board reviewed community feedback and next steps concerning the Lone Pine and Eastover tennis courts, but no project or purchasing decision was made. The Oakland County Parks partnership action-plan deadline was extended from September 30 to December 15, 2026. No other contract awards or vendor selections were identified.
