What happened

On January 12, 2026, the board accepted Burkhartsmeyer Construction's bid for a new roof on the Rudyard school and Stronghold Construction's bid to remodel three teacher houses in Rudyard. In April it approved a contract to finish HVAC work in both towns.

Why it matters to families

These are the district's largest building projects. Dollar amounts are not in the posted minutes, and the greenhouse HVAC work already costs more than the money set aside for it.

The evidence

The January 12 minutes record both bid approvals. The December 8 minutes say the greenhouse work exceeds its funding, and the April 14 minutes approve the Tom Jones Heating and Cooling contract.
