November 2026 - Finance and Facilities Committee Meeting

The Waukesha School District Finance and Facilities Committee met on November 10, 2026. The committee approved the October 12 meeting minutes with a clarification to distinguish committee members from other board members, and approved vouchers; both votes passed 5–0. No voucher total, vendor list, or new contract award was provided. In the September budget report, staff noted planned purchases of non-consumable science kits ($252,000 in August and $296,000 in September), textbook renewals, and network switches. Special-education spending on CISA service contracts was also higher year over year, but no contract amount or vendor details were given.

The committee reviewed the 2027–28 budget-development calendar and preliminary assumptions, including a 5.75% increase under the existing pupil-transportation contract, 7% for utilities, and 5% for health insurance. Members discussed revenue uncertainty, possible structural deficits, and delaying the budget hearing until state aid estimates are available; no final hearing date or spending decision was set. The committee also reviewed declining or stagnant revenue trends and discussed using scenarios as state funding information develops. No RFPs or new procurement awards were identified.
