# 10/28/2026 School Board Meeting

At the October 28, 2026 Prosser School District Board meeting, the board considered several spending and property matters. It revisited the Hazel Middle School kitchen modernization project, previously approved for a dishwasher and ovens, and discussed adding a replacement milk chiller. A motion was made and seconded to approve the project, but the transcript does not clearly capture the vote outcome. The board also discussed purchasing a special-services bus: Blue Bird and Thomas quotes differed by about $20,000, and members raised concerns about timing and recommended beginning future bus planning earlier; the final purchase decision is unclear in the transcript. Resolution 15-26, authorizing the surplus sale of two district property parcels, passed unanimously. The estimated combined sale price is $998,000; the district plans to obtain written OSPI approval before listing the property. The board also approved a Prosser Family Fitness Zone facility agreement, with no amount stated.

The fiscal report noted that some annual contracts, including Guardian Security and Microsoft Office, are encumbered in the budget, and that the district expects to present its year-end report at the November meeting. A principal raised concerns about the student impacts of possible staffing reductions during the upcoming budget process. The board discussed developing AI-use guidance for students and staff, including a possible committee to review policy options, but no formal action was recorded. The district also reported prior approval of funding for the middle-school dishwasher and ovens and described food-service purchases and local-food offerings; no additional food-service purchasing action was identified.
