# October 27, 2026 Regular Board of Directors Meeting

At Ridgefield Schools’ October 27, 2026 Regular Board of Directors meeting, the board approved a permanent right-of-way easement, a temporary construction easement, and a related declaration of surplus property and sale to the City of Ridgefield for its Royal Road improvements near Ridgefield High School. The property and improvements were valued at a combined $48,600. The project is intended to add pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure; board members raised concerns about construction timing and access to the high school parking lot, particularly during sports seasons. The district noted that the city could use eminent domain if the sale were not approved. No vendor contract awards or bids were presented.

In the September financial update, staff reported more than $4 million in capital-fund receipts in October, primarily school construction assistance reimbursement, and a capital-fund balance of about $19 million. The district expects to repay its two Clark County advances for Sunset Elementary construction—$10 million and $5 million—by November or December, potentially reducing anticipated interest costs. Staff also shared that the new Sunset Ridge Elementary had been dedicated, identifying LSW as the architectural firm, Triplett Wellman as general contractor, and RNC Management as the owner’s representative. The board heard an update on proposed student injury/illness policy revisions, including requirements related to bleeding-control equipment and staff training, but took no procurement action on those items.
