# Special Board of Education Meeting: 10.27.26


**Body:** Elmbrook Schools
**Date:** October 28, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

**Tags:** Education, Grants & Funding


The Elmbrook Schools Special Board of Education meeting, identified by its title as October 27, 2026, considered the 2026–27 tax levy and adjusted budget. The board approved both as presented by voice vote. The presentation noted an overall tax levy of approximately $78 million, a mill rate of $5.77, and a district budget of about $119 million, with a net adjustment of approximately $795,000. Revenue changes included higher equalization aid and state and federal grant revenues, offset by lower tax revenue; expenditure changes included salary savings and adjustments for insurance, fuel, technology, and the district’s special education transfer amid uncertainty about state reimbursement. No contract awards, vendor selections, or other procurement actions were identified.

Members also discussed third-Friday enrollment figures and the lack of a midyear enrollment adjustment, with possible future lobbying or a Wisconsin Association of School Boards resolution raised for consideration. No action was taken on that proposal. The board adjourned after the levy and adjusted budget vote.
