The Freeman School District 33-1 School Board held its regular meeting on September 14, 2026. The board approved a snow-removal quote for the 2026–2027 school year from Blake Garing of Iron River Moving; the transcript identifies it as the sole quote received but does not provide the price. The board also reviewed budget adjustments, including an approximately $8,000 increase related to a food-service dishwasher, spending for replacement cordless backpack vacuums, and changes to the stadium capital budget. It approved a tax levy request, though the amounts are unclear in the transcript, and approved an amended 2026–2027 lane-change request form. Surplus items, including replaced panels, were discussed for possible sale or donation, but the transcript does not clearly capture a vote on their disposition.
The consent agenda passed, including employment conditions for several coaches and a technology contract amendment whose details are unclear. The board approved recognizing the Fellowship of Christian Athletes as a district club, allowing it to use school facilities. It also conducted first readings of policies covering gym facility access and weight-room use; proposed changes include a uniform $13 annual fee for facility credentials and applying the relevant rules to adults as well as students. Stadium feedback prompted discussion of signage, access, grading, and a possible hard-surface area, but no related purchase or project approval was recorded.
