# 07/09/2026 LCSD School Board Meeting

The Lebanon Community School District Board of Directors met July 9, 2026. The board considered a district-office fire-alarm project and was asked to approve a guaranteed maximum price of $99,679.41, below the earlier estimate of roughly $120,000–$130,000. The transcript moves directly from the request for a motion to the consent agenda without capturing the vote, so approval of the fire-alarm price is unclear. The board approved a set of resolutions and authorizations, including correcting the designated depository’s name from Umpqua Bank to Columbia Bank and authorizing the custodian of funds to borrow up to $5 million; members discussed that borrowing would typically address a cash-flow shortfall such as payroll and that the board would be notified if needed.

Operations reported that a covered preschool play area at Greenacres is funded by the Preschool Promise grant, and a fence is planned for the preschool at Lome. The district is also working on transportation-routing software and a phone upgrade expected to save money. Finance reported a preliminary federal allocation about $100,000 below expectations, though the final amount was not yet confirmed. The board amended the local wellness policy language to encourage, rather than require, certain food choices. No other contract awards or bid selections were identified.
