SASD School Board Meeting 9/21/26

The SASD school board meeting on September 21, 2026, covered legislative priorities, a world-languages work group update, student and district activities, and employee compensation. The board approved by roll-call vote a supplemental pay increase for Educational Assistance Association of Stone (EAS) bargaining-unit members for the 2026–27 school year, excluding employees newly hired for that year; no dollar amount was stated. The transcript also refers to a tentative EAS master-contract agreement, but does not clearly establish whether the board voted to ratify it. No vendor selections, purchasing decisions, or other procurement awards were identified.

The board discussed anticipated school-funding advocacy, including special-education aid, and noted that the state budget process is expected in 2027. The district’s annual meeting is scheduled for October 19, when the community will consider the upcoming budget and tax levy; no budget or levy action was taken at this meeting. The world-languages work group reviewed enrollment and peer-district information and will consider program models at a future meeting, without making a decision.
