# Gilbert Public Schools Board Meeting 09/29/2026

The Gilbert Public Schools Governing Board held its regular meeting on September 29, 2026. The main procurement item was RFP 27-14-31 for a K–6 English language arts curriculum adoption. The board voted to advance the evaluation of two finalists, Amplify Education and Savvas Learning, for further review; this was not a final vendor selection or contract award. Board discussion indicated that a recommendation would return for further board action, followed by a public review period. No pricing or contract value was stated. The board also approved the first reading of procurement policy 3-109, including proposed changes to the definition and treatment of gifts or benefits in procurement and a change from five years to four years for a specified review period related to the district’s self-insurance program. The meeting included discussion of the debt service fund and how potential new bond payments, if voters approve a November bond request, could be layered in as older debt is paid off; no bond amount was stated.

Other agenda topics included staff and student recognitions, an academic spotlight on Canyon Rim Elementary, and public comments concerning a proposed bullying and harassment policy revision that had been removed from the agenda for further review. The consent agenda was approved, but its individual items were not described in the transcript. No other specific purchasing decisions or contract awards were identified.
