# Raymore-Peculiar Board of Education Meeting - July 23, 2026

The Raymore-Peculiar Board of Education met on July 23, 2026. The board unanimously approved an agreement with Navigate Building Solutions for estimating services on bond-funded capital improvement projects after the district received three RFQ responses. The agreement does not guarantee future work; the district expects to seek bids for individual projects as needed. The board also unanimously approved a $60,037.85 purchase from Safeware for a mobile security camera system through the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program. The system is solar-powered, uses cellular connectivity and Starlink, and includes a three-year subscription and warranty. The board unanimously approved the June 2026 monthly budget update and set a public hearing for the district’s tax levy; the hearing date and time were not clear in the transcript.

District staff reported that transportation route redesign is expected to reduce overlapping routes and may result in 8–10 fewer routes and approximately 300 fewer daily miles, with anticipated operating savings; route changes and communications are being prepared for the school year. The district also plans a district-wide replacement of two-way radios, noted in the fiscal update, with no amount stated. Other updates covered a search for a strategic-planning consultant, with a recommendation expected at the August meeting, and implementation of a district-wide emergency response protocol aligned with Senate Bill 68. No contract amount was provided for Navigate’s estimating services.
