# Cedar Falls Board of Education Meeting October 26, 2026

The Cedar Falls Community School District Board of Education meeting on October 26, 2026, included a major facilities procurement update. Emergent Architecture presented plans for additions and renovations at Holmes and Peet Junior Highs, including pool infill and gym/classroom changes, kitchen and cafeteria work, accessibility and security improvements, and building-system updates. Estimated construction costs are approximately $10.8 million for Holmes and $7.5 million for Peet, with contingency included; district staff said the projects fit within previously allocated PPEL and sales-tax budgets. The board approved setting the public hearing and issuing notice to bidders. Holmes bids were scheduled to go out October 29, with Peet’s bid process staggered, and bids are expected back before the new year. No construction contract was awarded at this meeting.

The board also reviewed September financial reports and approved the first reading of a fiscal-management policy establishing financial ranges, described as consistent with existing district practice and a new legislative requirement. Other discussion included a student-led high school food pantry, school activities, and a proposed board resolution concerning a state constitutional amendment; no additional procurement action was identified in those items.
