# October 28, 2026 - Regular Board Meeting

The Anchor Bay Board of Education’s regular meeting on October 28, 2026, included the presentation and acceptance of the district’s fiscal year 2025–26 audit. Auditor Dan Merritt of Raymond reported an unmodified (clean) opinion, no financial-statement audit findings, and an 18.5% general fund coverage ratio. The board approved the audit; no audit fee was stated. The board also approved phase one and phase two chiller and rooftop-unit work, recommended for award to Goyette, for a stated amount of approximately $4.842 million (the amount is truncated in the transcript). During discussion, a board member sought clearer bid breakdowns; district staff explained that the Middle School North scope was reduced to rooftop units to stay within budget. The award passed, with one dissenting vote.

The superintendent reported that bond-funded construction was progressing, with about $75 million completed (roughly 45% of the program), the projects under budget, and contingency at 9.1%. The presentation covered school additions, media centers, office and early-childhood renovations, and other facility upgrades. The board also approved several DECA and marching-band trips, without dollar amounts specified. Proposed policy updates received a first reading only, with no vote. The board amended the agenda to enter closed session to review an attorney letter; no details of that discussion are available in the transcript.
