The board recorded the March 12, 2026 minutes showing the actions. Business/Support Services Director D. Bergeron told the board the district completed a state audit of its stormwater program and must adopt a revised stormwater management plan on the regular schedule; the board approved the resolution in support of that plan (Motion 52/25-26) with all members voting yea.
The board also voted to move forward on several capital projects connected to the district’s 2025 bond program. The board awarded a Wireless Network Refresh contract to Inacomp TSG for $176,848 to be charged to the Capital Projects Fund; the district intends to submit E‑Rate reimbursement requests for eligible expenses (Motion 53/25-26).

Combined, those three contract awards total $1,386,988.
Superintendent M. Carruth presented proposed policy updates, including a new cell phone policy; the board waived a second reading (Motion 56/25-26) and then approved the policy updates as presented (Motion 57/25-26).
The minutes also record that the board interviewed three candidates for a vacant seat and appointed Garey Telin to the board (entry recorded in the March 12 minutes).

The meeting packet also listed routine consent items, including checks and electronic payments for operations and donations (including an ABC Booster donation of $10,354.50 earmarked for team iPads and batting cages) and personnel items that included the resignations of Ilissa Saginaw (Teacher, Botsford) and Angela Shaw (Student Support Coach, Middle School).
