The Houston Public School District board approved several formal actions at the meeting, including a construction contract award, personnel and routine governance resolutions.
Contract award: The board passed a resolution to accept the lowest responsible bid from Olympic Builders for the elementary school safe-and-secure entry project, with an estimated contract amount of $686,000. The resolution conditions award on execution of required contract documents, submission of bonds and insurance and compliance with laws and district requirements. The superintendent and board chair (or their designees) are authorized to execute necessary documents.
Superintendent contract: The board moved to accept the contract for Angie Andrews as the district’s next superintendent, to begin July 1. Speakers praised both finalists and called for unity as the district transitions.
Labor agreement: The board approved a negotiated agreement with Local 70 (details summarized in meeting remarks as wage and interest changes; transcript did not provide full contract text).
Other actions and routine resolutions: The board approved policies presented for second reading (policies 427, 904, 9007 and an updated districtwide curriculum and instructional materials review procedure), renewed Minnesota School Boards Association membership, authorized district check signers (chair, clerk and treasurer), accepted a package of community donations (detailed dollar amounts listed in the meeting packet), set affidavit filing dates for school board candidacy (July 14–28, 2026) and called a general election to be held Nov. 3, 2026, coordinating with county election officials and following Minnesota statute guidance.
Payment-of-bills item: the board removed the payment-of-bills list from the consent agenda and voted to move detailed review and any approval to the June 25 meeting so members could review the materials.
What passed: the transcript records motions and votes (voice votes and roll calls) for the Olympic Builders contract award, superintendent contract, Local 70 agreement, policy approvals, MSBA renewal, check-signers authorization, donations acceptance, candidate filing dates, and the general-election resolution.
