The Hudson School Board’s September 14, 2026 meeting approved the preliminary 2026–27 operating budget as presented. The budget assumes an 8.21 mill rate; estimated equalization aid is down $2.7 million, and special education categorical aid is projected at 40%, below the previously anticipated 45%. The district said it has made more than $6.1 million in reductions over four years. It also plans to draw $1.4 million from its stabilization fund and reported long-term debt of approximately $8.3 million. The board separately approved payment of bills totaling $77,654.71; no vendor or contract awards were identified.

The district reported completed sales of its administrative services building, Fulton Elementary School, and most of the UU property, with a remaining parcel still to be resolved; Willow River Elementary is listed for sale. Surplus items from closed buildings and other schools will be offered to the community on October 10 before other disposal. The board also discussed enrollment, the school-year transition, and planning calendars two years ahead. No new construction procurement or purchasing decision was presented.
