# WGSD BoE Meeting 11/12/2026

The Webster Groves School District Board of Education meeting on November 12, 2026, included several spending and facilities decisions. The board unanimously approved an agreement with Parkscape Solutions for the Avery Elementary playground replacement. The discussion described a phased districtwide approach to playground upgrades, emphasizing consistent standards and accessibility and shifting core playground funding from PTOs to the district. Figures cited included $75,000, a $274,000 capital-projects-fund contribution, and approximately $94,000 for surfacing; the transcript does not clearly establish how those amounts relate to the full project total. The board also approved an increase to facilities staff base salaries, with no amount specified, and approved the first 2026–27 budget adjustment. The adjustment increased the budget by about $2.76 million, largely reflecting the timing of bond-funded work and other updates; the board noted no revenue adjustments.

The board approved a 29-member steering committee for the next strategic plan. Administrators also reported that Prop W had passed with 66.2% of the vote, giving the district more time to plan future reductions and reallocations strategically. No vendor award or contract amount was stated for the salary or budget actions.
