What to Watch at the Meeting
The packet provides an agenda rather than detailed supporting documents, so many of the most significant decision items lack explanatory material. Items where the meeting itself may provide important additional context include the District Office HVAC Repair — ISG Contract, the 2026–27 Employee Handbook and Business Procedures, the federal education programs policy and procedures, the NICAO Head Start Program Agreement, the Trustpoint Audit Agreement, and the two proposed expenditure-transfer resolutions.
The agenda also provides an opportunity for suggestions for the board's next scheduled meeting on September 14, 2026.
