Fond du Lac School District Board of Education Meeting 9/28/26

The Fond du Lac School District Board of Education’s regular meeting on September 28, 2026, approved a 4% employee health-insurance premium increase and plan-design changes, with no change to dental insurance; the vote carried 6–0 with one abstention. The board also approved a modification to elementary school boundaries, described as affecting one student. Administrators discussed the open-enrollment process and how school consolidations and closures will inform staff placements. No contracts, bids, RFPs, or vendor selections were identified.

In a budget workshop, district staff reported that the proposed 2026–27 budget would balance operational funds. The all-funds property-tax levy was projected to increase 13.75%, which staff attributed in part to state aid and enrollment factors under the current funding formula. Staff also reported a $3.9 million favorable variance in the prior year, largely associated with lower-than-expected self-funded health-insurance costs and staffing reductions, and recommended considering at least $1 million in committed reserves for the health plan; no reserve commitment was voted on. The public budget hearing was identified as October 30.
