Hudson School Board Annual September 14, 2026 LIVE

The Hudson School District annual meeting was held September 14, 2026. The district reported completing referendum-funded construction projects at EP Rock Elementary, North Hudson Elementary, and Hudson Middle School, along with facility upgrades including accessibility improvements and safety work. Technology activity included issuing 230 Chromebooks, 16 iPads, and 100 computers and updating network equipment; the district also reported $250,000 in energy rebates tied to referendum enhancements. No new construction award, vendor selection, or contract amount was identified. The district noted a new partnership with Hudson Physicians and direct provider contracts related to employee healthcare, without disclosing contract costs.

Financial discussion covered a proposed 2026–27 tax levy totaling $64,569,547, including $55,797,597 levied against taxable property, and a projected mill rate of 8.21. A motion and second to approve the levy resolution were recorded and a voice vote was called, but the transcript does not capture the result. The district also reported approximately $3.4 million in staffing reductions, projected special-education costs requiring an $8.8 million general-fund transfer, and savings of about $14,000 from automating Amazon purchasing and more than $7,800 in purchasing-card rebates. The district reported selling properties for a combined approximately $6.9 million and placing Willow River Elementary for sale; these were property sales, not procurement awards.
