The Washington Township school board meeting, dated September 21, 2026 in the metadata, included a workshop on the proposed 2027 budget. The finance presentation reviewed proposed budgets of approximately $95 million for the Education Fund, $60 million for the Operations Fund, and $25 million for the Operating Referendum Fund, along with debt-service and capital-referendum spending. The district described cost-control measures including bulk purchasing, competitive RFPs for large contracts, grants and foundation partnerships, and planned capital projects over $10,000 and a five-year bus replacement plan. The workshop outlined advertising, public hearings, and later adoption as upcoming budget steps; no vote adopting the 2027 budget is recorded in the transcript.

The board approved the consent agenda, which included a claims docket totaling $4,963,454.13; the transcript does not clearly preserve the vote count. No new grants, donations, or routine or professional-service agreement renewals were presented for approval. The career-center report recognized Edwards Mechanical’s support for the HVAC program, including equipment and instructional materials, but did not describe a contract award. Separately, the board approved 4–0 a limited flood-related leave resolution allowing affected employees up to five days this school year.
