The Siloam Springs School District Board of Education meeting on August 14, 2025, highlighted significant summer projects and the district's successful summer feeding program.

During the meeting, maintenance staff reported on various completed projects, including a flooring upgrade at the intermediate school, resealing and striping of the middle school parking lot, and exterior painting of the middle school buildings. The new flooring features a modern design, and the removal of an outdated blue stripe from the North Building was noted as a positive change. The maintenance team completed 620 work orders over the summer, showcasing their productivity during what is typically considered a slow season.

In addition to maintenance updates, the cafeteria staff presented impressive statistics from the Seamless Summer Feeding Program. This initiative provided over 36,000 meals to families during June and July, with meals served at various locations, including the middle school and through mobile distribution. The program aimed to address food insecurity among students during the summer months. The cafeteria staff, who volunteered their time beyond their regular contracts, received commendations for their dedication and hard work.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to improving facilities and supporting families in the community, setting a positive tone for the upcoming school year.
