What happened

On Sept. 16, 2026 the superintendent told the board an asbestos mitigation walkthrough was set for Sept. 28. Earlier the board approved an $80,284.43 payment to Central States Roofing for roofing repairs (July 15) and a further $11,924.25 check to the same company from the capital improvement fund (Sept. 2). The minutes do not say which building or how much the asbestos work will cost.

Why it matters to families

Asbestos work and roof repairs affect the safety and use of school buildings, and pay for them from a small district's limited capital money.

The evidence

The Sept. 16 minutes record the walkthrough date. The July 15 and Sept. 2 minutes record the roofing payments as approved by roll call.
