EES Phase III Change Order 006

Consent Agenda and Regular Reports
The agenda includes a consent agenda containing:

- Open Enrollments
The packet does not provide substantive details for these consent items. The agenda also includes separate Personnel Report and Business Office Report sections, along with the Curriculum Report and Administrative Report.
The agenda notes that additions or deletions may be requested and references Iowa's open-meetings requirements concerning amendments to an agenda posted more than 24 hours before a scheduled meeting.
Public Participation
A Public Forum is scheduled following the consent agenda. The packet does not identify anticipated speakers or subjects for public comment.
What to Watch at the Meeting
Several action items have potentially significant operational or policy implications, but the packet provides only their agenda titles. Points that may become clearer during the meeting include:
- Whether the five 2026–27 student handbooks contain substantive changes from prior versions.
- The purpose and parameters of the proposed high school physical education exemption.
- The scope and funding priorities of the 2026–27 Technology Plan.
- The vendor, amount, and terms associated with the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program bid and the 824 Flindt Dr furniture quote.
- The purpose and terms of the proposed 2026–2027 BVRMC 28E Agreement.
- The cost and project implications of EES Phase III Change Order 006.
- The subject and proposed provisions of Policy 503.11.
These details are not supplied in the packet text, so the agenda alone does not establish what changes, costs, or specific terms the board will be asked to consider.
Upcoming Meeting
The packet announces the next regular meeting for Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM, at Central Office, 824 Flindt Dr.
