# OPS Board of Education Meeting | October 12, 2026

Regular Okemos Public Schools Board of Education meeting, October 12, 2026. The board heard the district’s annual audit presentation: auditors reported an unmodified opinion, with the federal compliance report still in draft pending the federal compliance supplement. The general fund ended with a 12.7% fund balance; the district also received a $3.5 million state-aid note for 2026–27. The audit presentation noted approximately $64 million available for projects in the 2023 capital projects fund after payables. The board discussed the infant-toddler program’s enrollment and financial outlook, including grant-funding options and scenarios ranging from a potential $48,000 negative impact to $74,000 in revenue over expenditures. No decision on the program’s future was taken.

The superintendent reported that the facilities bond steering committee is reviewing district facilities and programs, and trustees discussed future planning for the Montessori program and a possible fourth elementary school. The board approved the consent agenda and endorsed the high school baseball spring-training trip to Fort Myers; no contract awards, vendor selections, or purchasing approvals were identified. Other topics included student activities, facility access, and district staffing changes.
