Garfield County School District No. 16 board approves contracts, tech purchases and revised FY2026 budget
Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting the Garfield County School District No. 16 Board of Directors unanimously approved multiple vendor contracts and purchases — including athletic-court surfacing, communications services, 3D printers and an ed-tech workflow solution — and adopted a revised fiscal-year 2026 budget.
The Board of Directors for Garfield County School District No. 16 met Jan. 13, 2026, and on a series of unanimous roll-call votes approved vendor contracts, program proposals and a revised fiscal-year 2026 budget.
Board President Vincent T. Tomasulo called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. and recorded all five members present. The board approved the meeting agenda, then moved through a set of action items that passed without recorded dissent.
Key approvals included a contract with Athletic Court Surfaces, LLC for unspecified court-surface work; authorization of the Focused Kids Brain Empowerment proposal; purchase of the Informed K12 workflow automation and digital forms solution; procurement of communications services through Granite Government Solutions and Starlink; and purchase of six MakerBot Sketch 3D printers from Bluum. Each motion carried on unanimous roll-call votes; board members recorded as voting "aye" on the listed items were Brent Baker, Keith Gronewoller, Hunter Long, Samuel W. Stewart and Vincent T. Tomasulo.
The board also approved a revised budget for fiscal year 2026 after a brief discussion; the minutes record the motion and unanimous vote but do not include line-item dollar amounts or a budget summary in the meeting text.
No audience members addressed the board during the public comment period. Later, the board voted to go into an executive session under Colorado law to discuss personnel matters related to the superintendent's annual evaluation; the minutes state the purpose and participants and note that Dr. Jennifer Baugh was excused from the executive session. The minutes record the executive session concluding at 6:43 p.m. and the adjournment motion at 6:44 p.m.; elsewhere the document contains a conflicting statement that the meeting adjourned at 6:37 p.m. The minutes do not indicate any formal board action taken during the executive session.
What happens next: the board set a future work session that will include a Nutritional Services Department presentation by Director Jody Williams; no further dates or required follow-up items are specified in the minutes.
