Board approves 2026 competitive‑bid threshold consistent with MDE guidance
Summary
Elk Rapids Schools approved the district's 2026 Threshold for Competitive Bids, aligning district procurement thresholds with updated state guidance from MDE.
The Elk Rapids Schools Board approved the 2026 Threshold for Competitive Bids at its Oct. 13 meeting, adopting the updated procurement threshold amounts provided by the Michigan Department of Education.
The MDE memorandum included in the packet cites statutory sections of the Revised School Code and lists FY 2026 thresholds (for example, a procurement competitive‑bid base of $31,321 and a posting threshold for ISD travel of $5,128). The board approved resolution 51‑25 "as presented" by motion and roll call; the motion was made by Scott Moore and seconded by Tara Kribs and recorded carried by a unanimous vote.
The action aligns district procurement practice with state statutory thresholds and CPI‑adjusted base amounts provided by MDE; the packet lists the specific MCL citations supporting the thresholds. The board did not add local exceptions or amendments at the Oct. 13 meeting; staff will apply the updated thresholds to upcoming procurement decisions.
