Tomah and Sparta proposed a two-school-year boys hockey co-op for 2026-2028. Tomah would host the program, manage finances, and handle ice time, coaches, officials, uniforms, transportation, and equipment, while Sparta would pay an estimated $1,200 per player each season. The plan sets operating responsibilities and shared-cost terms for an existing sports program, so the main value is follow-on services and equipment tied to program setup.The document does not show a separate solicitation.

Budget Planning

The principal's report includes a site-based Proposition 28 plan, which signals ongoing planning for arts and music funding at the school site. The agenda does not name a vendor or specific purchase, but it does show the district is discussing how to use the funds. That makes this a funding and implementation planning signal rather than an award. The item remains open at the October 26, 2026 meeting.

The ELAC agenda included review of the 2025 English learner master plan, including the Summative ELPAC student score report, annual notification parent letter, and reclassification criteria. It also called for a comprehensive needs assessment using Spring 2025 ELPAC, CAASPP, and DPA #2 data. This is a planning signal for curriculum, assessment, and student-support work, but no purchase or vendor was named. The committee also reviewed the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and could make recommendations.

Public Updates

The agenda called for review of the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA), including programs, goals, and objectives for English learner students, with recommendations as an action item. This points to upcoming instructional planning and possible program adjustments rather than a decided procurement. The work is tied to student performance data and school-site priorities, so it can inform tutoring, assessment, and family-engagement services. No vendor or dollar amount was named.
