Trustees took a series of formal actions Tuesday, approving a revised timeline and outreach for the district's superintendent search, authorizing steps to sell the district's Fourth Street Gym, approving equipment and technology procurements and directing staff to solicit bids for contracted transportation. Board votes were unanimous on the items presented.
Key decisions and immediate outcomes (votes recorded during the meeting):
- Superintendent search: The board accepted a revised timeline and agreed to reopen the community and staff surveys for a short window in October (board specified a two-week window and set an October meeting to review results). Motion passed unanimously.
- Fourth Street Gym (real property disposition): Trustees directed staff to proceed with the public-notice process under district policy 922 and state code (advertisement and sealed-bid sale) and instructed administration to research options for post-sale use (possible leaseback or temporary use). The board specified the sale to be by sealed bid and for cash; motion passed unanimously.
- Student survey (Idaho Youth Well-Being Survey): Trustees authorized the district to participate in the high-school survey administered by Boise State with parental opt-in consent required; board approved participation unanimously.
- Technology and equipment purchases: The board approved purchasing 60 classroom voice-amplification units (front-row/unity systems) at $99,998.40 and approved E-Rate-funded network equipment where the district share is $33,599.33 (federal share covers the remainder). Both motions passed unanimously.
- Transportation: Trustees authorized staff to solicit bids to explore contracting student transportation for the 2026-27 school year; the board did not commit to awarding a contract but directed staff to gather bids and comparative costs. Motion passed unanimously.
- Calendar and policies: The board approved proposed student calendars for 2026-27 and 2027-28 and acted on several policy amendments and removals (motions to remove policy 607 and adopt policy 512 among others). Those motions passed by unanimous vote.
The board voted on a consent agenda and closed the meeting after routine items.
