Board Calendar Updates – flipping working session and business meetings for the remainder of the calendar. No date changes at this point.

Policy updates – based on recommendations of TSBA:

  • Food Service Management – regulatory-based changes
  • Student Wellness – sections around physical activity updated based on updated guidance. Removal of ‘unstructured play’ wording, adjustments based on legislation and federal requirements. CHS does not have the physical facilities to currently be in full compliance.

Bid reviews:

  • CHS Installation of previously purchased HVAC equipment (22 units). Low bidder coming in at half the cost of other two – healthy skepticism applied, but all details are included – lowest bidder recommended for business meeting.
