# WRPS School Board Meeting 08-10-26

The Wisconsin Rapids Public Schools Board of Education meeting on August 10, 2026, included a Business Services procurement item: a paper bid that had not previously received board approval was moved from a purchase update to an action item because it exceeded the $25,000 approval threshold. The board approved the Business Services committee items (BS1 and BS2) and minutes; the transcript references $111,495.23 among the business items, but does not clearly tie that amount to the paper bid or identify a vendor. The board also recorded July receipts of $913,756.90 and approved July disbursements of $3,813,027.31.

Other spending-related actions included approval of a 2.63% wage increase for teachers and authorization to add a special education aide and, if enrollment requires, additional elementary teachers. The board approved a temporary limited easement to WisDOT for project 699-21-20, allowing road and accessibility work on district property; no cost to the district was stated. No other contract awards or vendor selections were clearly identified.
