# July 9, 2026 School Board Meeting

The July 9, 2026 school board meeting of MC Mustang Media approved the final guaranteed maximum price for a school athletic-facilities project. The construction contract was stated as approximately $8.44 million, with a total program budget of $9,668,671 including bleachers the district had already purchased; the estimate includes about $239,000 in construction contingency, and work was expected to start in August. The board also authorized staff to issue an RFP for digital scoreboards at district schools and approved a recommended parking-lot resealing project for the transportation department, Pineville Primary, Rocky Comfort Elementary, and Anderson Middle School, totaling $104,598.23. Springfield Striping was recommended for the work. The board also acted on district copy-paper bids; the transcript indicates the price was five cents higher than last year’s $29.83 per case.

Other spending-related approvals included 2026–27 cafeteria prices, with increases of about 10 cents, and raising substitute pay from $110 to $120 per day, estimated to add approximately $30,000 based on the prior year’s substitute usage. Consent items included monthly bills, finance matters, employment and resignation items, a fund transfer, and approval of the 2026–27 professional development plan. The transcript does not clearly preserve the vote details for every item.
