# RGSD Boardroom's Zoom Meeting

Riverview Gardens Schools Board of Education meeting, November 11, 2026. The board received a facilities and grounds update covering previously approved work, including boiler replacements at Central Middle School and the high school, a passenger lift at LeMasters, and repairs and flooring after water or storm damage. The district reported adding Muni Professional Lawn Care and outsourcing facilities management to HES, which had about 51 employees on site. Facilities also described plans to standardize painting and adjust maintenance staffing and vehicle use to control costs. As part of right-sizing efforts, the district said it would issue RFPs for plumbing, HVAC, and car-rental services after struggling to recruit trades staff, and proposed appraising certain properties to assess potential sale value; no decision on the appraisals is captured in the transcript.

The district reported reducing a previously identified $23 million deficit by $17 million through earlier right-sizing plans. A FY 2026–27 budget amendment proposing a $337,000 net expenditure reduction was presented with a recommendation for approval, but no vote on it is recorded. Phase five measures were described as including staffing and organizational changes and reducing the district vehicle fleet from 26 to 13, with estimated savings of about $2.5 million for staffing and operational efficiencies. The board also discussed renewal of Destiny Manager, budgeted at no more than $16,486, and staff education partnerships that offer tuition discounts or certification pathways without a district financial commitment; outcomes on these discussion items are not shown. The board did vote to accept the consent agenda. Other agenda topics included student achievement, attendance, early-childhood programs, and recognition of staff and security personnel.
