# July 27, 2026 Special Board Meeting

Butte School District #1 held a special board meeting on July 27, 2026. The board considered an emergency repair to Butte High School’s stormwater drain after a pipe failure caused sinkholes and parking-lot damage. Staff described the project as urgent ahead of the start of school and recommended waiving the bidding process to contract with Water Environmental Technologies. The county had installed a temporary patch, and district staff planned to discuss responsibilities and the scope of the work with the county and other parties. Trustees voted to approve the emergency action and bid waiver; the transcript does not provide the contract amount, and the final vote count is unclear.

The board also approved the July 27 personnel action report with a change making a temporary counselor appointment contingent on employee acceptance, and approved declaring a trustee position vacant following a resignation. Trustees indicated they could adopt the budget on August 20, with notice to be arranged; no budget amount or allocation was discussed.
