MNS School Board 2026 Annual Meeting

The Mosquo Norway School District’s 67th annual meeting and formal budget hearing was held September 14, 2026, according to the meeting chair. The district reviewed its 2026–27 budget and financial pressures, including declining enrollment, rising transportation and healthcare costs, and limited state funding growth. The proposed total property tax levy was reported as $37.46 million, a 6.14% increase (estimated at 5.6% after accounting for new construction). The capital projects fund was just over $500,000, and its levy was reduced by $250,000 to help balance the operating budget. The transcript records a budget-related motion passing, but does not preserve the motion’s wording clearly enough to identify exactly what was approved.

Facilities needs discussed included ongoing roofing work, parking-lot striping, tennis-court repairs and consideration of a permanent solution, and aging high-school chillers that may eventually need replacement. No vendors, contract awards, bids, or specific procurement approvals were identified. Electors also approved authorizing the board to set the next annual meeting date between May 15 and October 31, 2027, and approved disposal of equipment in accordance with board policy.
