The Centennial School District Board of School Directors approved a slate of routine and budget-related items unanimously at its Nov. 25 committee meeting. Actions taken included approval of the meeting agenda and grouped personnel items, a tuition agreement, renewal of a before-and-after care service agreement, overnight conference requests, library purchases, adoption of a high school program-of-studies update, adoption of the 2026-27 budget development calendar and authorization of an engineering-of-record agreement for planned family & consumer sciences classroom renovations.
Votes recorded in the meeting audio were unanimous on items taken together: the agenda approval and the grouped personnel/tuition/contract items were recorded as passing with an 8-0 tally. The board adopted the 2026-27 budget development calendar by an 8-0 vote after a motion from the finance chair and a second by Ms. Crossen.
Key items approved and district cost caps stated in the meeting: the personnel agenda (resignations, authorizations, leaves, suspensions, co-curricular items) and 3.2 the tuition agreement for "student 11-3" to attend the Comprehensive Learning Center with district cost prorated not to exceed $97,904 for the 2025-26 school year; approval retroactively of a three-year before-and-after care service agreement with A Child's Place effective July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2028; conference travel for student services staff (district costs not to exceed $2,075.19 and $3,100 respectively); purchase of library books for Davis Elementary not to exceed $2,847.37; and high school program-of-studies updates (four new courses) with district cost not to exceed $12,250.
On facilities and operations, the board approved an agreement with the district's engineer of record, Barry Izette, to plan all phases of the family & consumer sciences classroom renovations at Lough (sic) College and Clinger (sic) Middle School with district cost not to exceed $81,400. During that discussion a board member asked why the district does not solicit proposals from multiple engineering firms; staff responded that Barry Izette serves as the board-approved engineer of record under a three-year contract, has institutional knowledge of the buildings, and set fees already approved for that term.
No recorded motions failed or were tabled. Several approvals were seconded on the record (agenda seconded by Ms. Clausen; grouped approvals seconded by Mr. Sadowski; program-of-studies seconded by Mr. Hartline). The meeting contained no detailed debate on the individual personnel or program items beyond procedural questions about procurement practices.
