School Board Meeting - August 10th, 2026

Kiona Benton City School District board meeting (listed in the title as August 10, 2026; metadata timestamped August 13, 2026). The board approved the consent agenda and July 27 minutes. During public comment, an FCCLA adviser raised concerns about access to ASB financial records and alleged undocumented dues transactions and missing or inaccurate budget information; the board took no action on those claims during the meeting.

The board approved moving forward with discussions—not setting fees—on possible ASB card and athletic participation fee changes. The superintendent proposed discussing an increase to high school ASB cards from $35 to $50 and middle school cards from $10 to $20 or $25, alongside a capped participation-fee approach. Staff will consult secondary principals, coaches, and ASB groups and report back, with a target around the end of September. Members discussed financial assistance for students unable to pay and the possibility of crediting or reimbursing fees if a school levy passes. The board also received an update on volunteers for levy committees. No contracts, vendor selections, purchasing approvals, or other procurement activity were identified.
