The WAWM School Board’s regular meeting on October 12, 2026, included approval of the 2027 health insurance renewal contract. The district reported a 15% renewal increase, compared with an estimated 19.5% cost for self-insurance, and said it currently pays about 92% of employee health insurance costs. The board also approved a Knights of Columbus donation. A final budget and tax levy adoption were listed on the board calendar, but no vote on them appears in the transcript provided.

A workshop reviewed two recreation-facility projects: Phase 3 of the Activity and Fitness Center pool, estimated at $11.3–$12.5 million, and the Frank Lloyd Wright outdoor recreation project, estimated at $10.4 million—about $23 million combined. CG Schmidt and design partners have been developing the plans; construction bids and a guaranteed maximum price are still pending. Project scope, budget, and contract authorization were presented as proposed action items, but the transcript ends before any vote on them. Board members discussed seeking local business sponsorships and potential MMSD support to offset costs; construction was tentatively scheduled to begin in summer 2027.
