10/27/2026 Special Board of Education Meeting

The MPSD Board of Education held a special meeting on October 27, 2026. The board approved a budget amendment after state aid came in lower and voucher expenses higher than projected; voucher costs were estimated at $6.8 million but exceeded $7.2 million. It then unanimously approved a proposed property tax levy of $31,425,658, a 6.14% increase from the prior year. The board noted it was levying $750,000 less than the amount available under the operational referendum, and discussed communicating the district’s spending restraint and budget assumptions to the community. No contracts, vendor selections, bids, or purchasing actions were identified.

The board also accepted the personnel report. Members discussed upcoming November meetings, including a state report-card presentation and superintendent evaluation, and planning for attendance at the state education conference. Future building and repair needs were mentioned generally, but no specific capital project or funding decision was taken.
