# Board of Education Meeting: November 9, 2026

The Dublin City Schools Board of Education meeting was held November 9, 2026. The board unanimously approved three facilities-related items: the second phase of roof repairs at Thomas Elementary, publicly bid to the lowest responsible bidder (vendor name transcribed as “Ian Ruff Links LLC”) for about $1.1 million, with an approximately $330,000 construction-contingency change order; an increase of slightly more than $17,000 to Kleingers’ previously approved design contract for walkway paths and a bleacher pad near the Kaufman High School softball field; and an approximately $11,500 Kleingers soil assessment at Scioto High School. The board approved all three items by a 5–0 vote. It also approved financial agenda items, including the October financial report and authorization to use about $15,000 in earned interest from the Dublin Education Foundation Pepsi funds for grants; the fund’s principal balance of about $196,000 is to be maintained. Donations included 25 girls’ lockers for Kaufman, $1,500 toward a Thomas Elementary fifth-grade field trip, and library books for Bishop Elementary.

The board discussed purchasing controls in its PTO leadership report: district rules prohibit employee crowdfunding, and hardware, equipment, curricular resources, and infrastructure purchases are generally district-controlled; technology-related items costing $200 or more must be ordered through the technology department. These were reported as existing guidance, not a new board vote. Several policy changes were presented for a first reading, with a later vote planned. Other major topics included public requests to reconsider high-school redistricting rules for siblings, academic program updates, and school recognition; no additional procurement approvals were identified in those discussions.
