School Board Meeting - 7/27/2026

The West Bend School District School Board meeting on July 27, 2026, included approval of the 2025–26 budget amendment and employee health and pharmacy benefit changes. The amendment, presented as an estimate pending the annual audit, was approved. It included $2.3 million in building maintenance and improvements and an additional $250,000 contribution to the OPEB trust. The district also reported that state special-education reimbursement fell more than $500,000 short of anticipated funding, partly offset by increased claims, and that multi-year curriculum and technology purchases were being held as committed funds. The consent agenda, including a grades 9–10 English language arts professional development contract, was also approved; no contract amount or vendor was stated in the transcript.

The board approved the presented health insurance plan-design resolution, with one member abstaining, and approved two pharmacy-related resolutions: the pharmacy benefit plan design and designation of TrueScripts as the district’s pharmacy benefit manager following an RFP process. The new manager is expected to take effect January 1, 2027; a definitive services agreement will return to the board after negotiations are completed. The pharmacy changes include a four-tier copay structure and gradual future adjustments tied to a federal benchmark. No agreement value was stated.
