# KCSD Board of Education Meeting 11/04/2026

At the Kingston City Schools Board of Education regular meeting on November 4, 2026, the board received a facilities capital-project update from KSQ Architects and BBL. Work across several schools included new boilers, secured-entry improvements, auditorium renovations, elevator work, HVAC upgrades, and classroom and cafeteria finishes. The presentation noted schedule delays and outstanding materials, including doors and frames expected later in November, as well as unforeseen asbestos abatement and other construction complications. At Edson, a rooftop heat-pump installation was associated with cracking in a masonry wall; a public commenter said consent-agenda resolution B42 addressed urgent equipment removal to reduce roof-collapse risk and ratified actions taken before board approval. No new contract award, bid approval, or capital-project dollar amount was identified.

The board also heard that the district would begin budget discussions earlier and provide a state-of-the-district presentation on November 18, followed by long-range financial planning and budget primers, with additional community input and communication planned. The consent agenda included donations to school activities, including 120 pumpkins and cash or gift-card contributions; the transcript does not clearly establish the vote outcome. Other actions concerned personnel matters and school programs, rather than procurement.
