# Dayton Board of Education - Review Session - November 10, 2026

At its November 10, 2026 review session, the Dayton Board of Education heard public concerns about student safety and employee vetting, and a bargaining-unit representative raised bus-driver shortages and alleged pay-date contract violations. Procurement and facilities items included approval of a contract for student eye exams and glasses, initially serving Westwood with plans to expand; the board also reviewed purchase requisitions for McDaniel Construction Company’s drainage work at Thurgood Marshall and discussed water-intrusion repairs and district HVAC projects. Contracts with Perfection Group for HVAC system replacements were presented for review, not approval. The treasurer reported a proposed $31 million increase in estimated resources tied to CAPS capital-improvement funds and a $21.5 million increase in permanent appropriations; these budget items were for review, with the appropriation vote expected later.

The board unanimously ratified an MOU with OPC Local 627 covering extended-day work and uncovered bus routes. It also unanimously approved the eye-exam contract and a 48-hour waiver. Contract G19 was tabled, though its subject was not clearly identified in the transcript. No competitive bid or new vendor award was clearly recorded. Several policy changes—including school-property disposal, open enrollment, bullying and hazing, and student cellphone use—received a first reading and were not yet adopted.
