# November 10, 2026 Regular Board of Education Meeting

The Independence School District Board of Education’s regular meeting on November 10, 2026, included approval of the consent agenda, which covered nearly $20 million in bills paid during October through November 10. The board also approved a district-wide classroom-door lock quote following a competitive bid process; officials said the lowest bid was from a local company, but the amount and vendor name are not clear in the transcript. The board accepted bids and contracts for the Nallen Middle School kitchen renovation and the James Bridger Middle School fine-arts lower-level renovation. Both projects were identified as bond-funded; the Bridger work is planned for summer completion. The board also approved a right-of-way conveyance for the South Quail Drive realignment. The transcript ends during consideration of another payment authorization, so its outcome is not available.

Informational reports covered summer facility improvements and ongoing work at multiple schools, plus a pilot facility assessment at Nallen identifying needs including HVAC, roof, electrical, fire-alarm, and flooring work. The district aims to assess all 30 buildings and present a five-year investment plan by the end of the school year. Administrators also reported plans to contract with CBiz for a compensation study, with completion targeted for early February; no approval vote is shown. The board approved its 2027 legislative priorities, which included school funding and special-education funding, among other areas.
