# WCSD BOE November 9, 2026 Monthly Meeting

The Waunakee School District Board of Education’s November 9, 2026 monthly meeting included several procurement and facilities items. The board approved moving forward with a preliminary outline for an RFP for student transportation, with a modification to item 7; this was not a contract award. The outline calls for a seven-year term, considers allowing terminals outside the district to broaden vendor participation, proposes increasing the fuel-clause threshold from $2.50 to $3.75 per gallon, and includes an option for non-diesel buses. Staff will develop the RFP for committee and full-board review in December before seeking proposals. The board also approved a nonexclusive partnership with BSN for athletics purchasing, with vendor quotes and use of district branding coordinated through the athletic director. The board approved smart-glass installation, estimated at $145,000–$160,000, for the new facility.

The facilities committee had recommended reconstructing the existing middle-school track, but the board delayed a decision to obtain further information on the options, costs, and facility use; additional costs would come from project savings. The board agreed to a $375 School Perceptions survey analysis, approved next summer’s course offerings, and heard that staff are reviewing registration-system vendors, with a selection expected by late November or early December. Public commenters raised concerns about student device and technology use; district leaders said a team is reviewing research and possible next steps, but no procurement decision was made on that issue.
