SASD School Board Meeting 10/5/26

The Stoughton Area School District Board of Education meeting on October 5, 2026, included no contract awards, bids, or purchasing approvals. The board approved the consent agenda, which included approximately $137,000 in donations received during the month, including gifts related to athletics; a board member specifically recognized the Bryant Foundation. Members asked how donated athletic supplies and funds are allocated and requested information about the athletic department budget, including whether it covers coaches’ pay. The district administrator will provide follow-up information. The board also discussed future Collins Field and athletic-field maintenance costs, which are expected to be incorporated into the district’s overall budget rather than relying on fundraising, unless donations are specifically earmarked for the work.

Other discussion covered student activities, district enrollment and 4K counts, and upcoming meetings. Action items include investigating the year-over-year 4K enrollment difference, clarifying the allocation of athletic donations and supplies, sharing the athletic department budget, and checking the budget treatment of Collins Field maintenance. The October 19 meeting is scheduled to address the district budget and tax levy. No specific procurement activity was identified.
