SCCS Board of Education -- 10/28/2026

The Schwarz Creek Schools Board of Education meeting on October 28, 2026, included a presentation of the district audit and discussion of finances. The auditor reported an unmodified opinion and one internal-control finding concerning employee extra-compensation payments that had not followed the proper approval process. The board voted to accept the audit report. The presentation cited about $50 million in general-fund revenue, $47.4 million in expenditures, a roughly $2.5 million increase in general-fund balance, and an ending balance of about $15.8 million. The finance subcommittee report also referenced 31a grant funding for safety and mental-health purposes and noted that the board had approved up to $50,000 for teacher supplies at a prior meeting; no new purchase or contract award was made at this meeting.

The board approved an SCA letter of agreement for a director position by a 5–1 vote; a board member supported it while expressing a preference for incorporating similar compensation arrangements into the full contract. The board also discussed reviewing staffing and supports for larger classes. It postponed approval of one set of closed-session minutes and said it would consult its attorney about a consistent minutes policy. No other procurement activity was identified.
