Sign up freeHutchinson USD 308 board members are set to vote Monday, Oct. 26, on a contract with the firm that would manage construction under the district's proposed $36 million bond, ahead of voters' November decision. The published agenda lists the Construction Manager At-Risk contract as an action item but names no firm, project or dollar amount.
Earlier reporting states that a facilities assessment was on the board's Aug. 24 agenda and that the district scheduled three October meetings on the proposed bond. The Hutchinson Post has reported that the board narrowed the construction manager candidates to three firms at its late September meeting and that the district is using the at-risk method to protect against potential cost overruns.
According to the district, Monday's vote is the final step in selecting the firm.
Board members are also scheduled to vote on an update to the district's facility use policy. The agenda does not describe what the update would change.
Consent items include the September treasurer's report, a Cisco switch licensing upgrade, a 2026-27 inter-agency agreement with RCEC for early childhood special education programs and a personnel report.
The board is scheduled to meet in executive session on personnel, with action to follow, and on negotiations. The agenda includes a public participation period but does not list a start time or location.
