Peninsula School District Board Regular Business Meeting - 11/10/2026

The Peninsula School District 401 Board held its regular business meeting on November 10, 2026. The board approved a one-year interlocal agreement for district-operated aquatics and swimming lessons, with local municipalities expected to subsidize eligible residents’ fees; the district said an eight-week session would cost families approximately $75–$90 before subsidy. The program is intended to expand access while operating on a cost-neutral basis, with district staff managing instruction and registration. The agreement remains subject to approval by the participating municipal boards and councils. The board also received a facilities update covering HVAC control-system replacements, a new fire panel at Peninsula High School, and other maintenance work. Staff reported pursuing a purchase order with McKinney for energy audits; no vote on that purchase was reported.

Budget staff described a tight current-year budget and limited capacity for major maintenance projects, while reporting that total students served had increased but funded enrollment had declined. Public commenters debated a possible high-school facilities bond, citing an approximately $800 million proposal and lower-cost alternatives, but the board took no action on a bond; it agreed to move further consideration to a study session. The board also approved the consent agenda. Public comments addressed Initiative 638 and student policies, but no related policy action was taken.
