Prosser School District School Board meeting, September 23, 2026. The board heard school and athletics updates, then reviewed a new financial report. The finance director estimated that enrollment running about 47 FTE above budget could generate roughly $470,000 in additional revenue, while noting the district’s reported cash-on-hand measure was 0.15 days against a stated goal of 30. Officials also discussed improving purchasing and accounting procedures, including more consistent coding of supplies and purchased services. Public-records requests were costing the district about $10,000 per month, with a reduction expected as major requests conclude.

Procurement and facilities discussions included a planned Hel Middle School kitchen modernization using capital-project funds. The work would replace an inoperative dishwasher and address other kitchen equipment or counter issues; it may cost about $10,000 more than repairing the dishwasher alone. Staff said quotes would be brought back to the board with a contract, so no award was made at this meeting. The district also reported that kickoff work for the early-learning facility was scheduled, and discussed a Grant Avenue property transaction with 45 days for feasibility and 45 days for closing. The board approved a piano donation for the middle school choir, along with vouchers and payroll, consent items, and an agreement with the City of Prosser. The transcript does not clearly establish the terms of that city agreement or the precise action taken on the Grant Avenue transaction. A Park Avenue property payment had been received, and officials noted the district would no longer incur upkeep costs for properties it no longer uses.
