7-27-2026 Return From Closed Session of the SDM Board of Education

The SDM Board of Education meeting on July 27, 2026, included finance updates and district operations. The board considered general checking account vouchers totaling $1,573,628.76; a motion to approve was stated, but the transcript does not capture the vote outcome. The finance report said the 2025–26 adopted budget needed routine year-end adjustments, including a net $267,000 increase in Fund 10 and approximately $97,000 in Fund 27 revenue and expenditure changes. A motion and second were made to approve the budget changes, but the vote outcome is not audible in the transcript. The district also reported that its state aid estimate was close to projections and discussed preliminary enrollment and open-enrollment figures.

Facilities and infrastructure were discussed informally: the district is completing summer building projects, and the board received information about proposed municipal development and road work, including a possible 1.3-mile High Street reconstruction in summer 2028. No school construction contract, vendor selection, RFP, or bid award was identified. Other actions included approval of the annual academic standards notice, updated to include the state-required personal financial literacy requirement, and the staffing report.
