# Board Meeting 8/19/2026

The Stream Palisades school board meeting on August 19, 2026, included several procurement and financial actions. The board approved annual agreements for 2026–27 special-education placements and services with Woods Services, Lakeside School, and Foundations Behavioral Health; staffing support through PESPA and ESS; and student transportation through George Craftins Jr. and Sons. It also approved an EverDriven transportation contract as backup when the district’s regular provider cannot meet a need, with directors emphasizing that usage and costs should be monitored. The board approved the IDEA use-of-funds agreement for special-education purposes and a revised list of bank depositories, removing TD Bank. For the sewer plant project, the board approved change orders 1, 2, and 4, while change order 3 was not approved. The reported amounts for change orders 1 and 2 were $1,588.37 and $9,556, respectively; change order 3, for $8,429.44, was excluded after concerns that it was undertaken without prior district approval. The committee also discussed a roughly $24,000 auditorium-hoist change-order request, but the transcript does not establish a board vote on it.

The board voted 8–1 to direct district officers to prepare a bond-parameters resolution for consideration at the September 16 meeting; this authorized further planning, not a final bond issue. Fiscal discussions included four scenarios based on a $5.75 million bond, a potential 19-year level-debt structure, and requests for five-year fund-balance projections. The superintendent also reported summer technology and facility work, including elementary projector installations, high-school stage lighting, visitor kiosks, and replacement of Windows 10 workstations with Windows 11 laptops. Other funding-related items included a $250,000 district shortfall in the healthcare consortium and a Bucks County Intermediate Unit agreement supporting the Chief Science Officers program. No procurement decision was reported on the discussed lunch-price increase.
