BOE Special Board Meeting & Work Session 4/13/26

The Green Bay Area Public School District Board of Education held a special board meeting and work session on April 13, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included budget adjustments in response to a $917,000 reduction in federal Title I funding for the 2026-27 school year due to changes in poverty rate calculations. The board reviewed cost-saving measures such as health insurance modifications saving approximately $775,000, reductions in full-time equivalent staff by over 100 positions through attrition and consolidation, discontinuation of credit card fees saving $18,000, and delaying technology purchases. They also discussed deferring non-referendum facilities projects, reviewing facility rental fees, and reducing summer professional development budgets. The board approved no increases in student fees for the upcoming year and paused administrative tuition reimbursements for 2026-27. Policy updates related to fiscal management, environmental quality, energy management, transportation, and electronic surveillance were also reviewed. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter closed session for collective bargaining negotiations.
