Board Meeting 8-10-26

The WAWM School Board meeting on August 10, 2026, included a presentation on the Recreation Adult Day (RAD) program and reports from board committees. The Recreation Committee noted that the fitness center and FLW construction projects were under discussion; no construction contracts, vendors, or bids were awarded in the transcript. The board approved a resolution authorizing borrowing of up to $25 million for recreation projects, with the actual amount to be determined if projects are later approved. It also considered a separate resolution authorizing borrowing of up to $50 million as part of the district’s financial stabilization plan, intended to support a flat or lower tax levy; the transcript records the vote but does not clearly capture the outcome. The district noted that the amount needed remains uncertain, including because of changes to the voucher cap and pending information from DPI.

The board also approved the 2027 retiree health-plan renewal. The base-plan premium is set to decrease from $145.22 to $107.12 per month, reducing the district’s monthly contribution from $72.61 to $53.56; the buy-up plan premium is $203.43, with the retiree share decreasing to $149.87. No other specific procurement awards or purchasing decisions were identified.
