Dysart Governing Board Meeting - May 11, 2026

The Dysart Schools Governing Board held a public meeting on May 11, 2026, which included a public hearing and approval of the revised expenditure budget for the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The budget revision reflected a slight decrease in average daily membership, adjustments in state aid allocations, and a total budget limit of approximately $222.5 million. The board approved the revised budget without opposition. Additionally, the board approved personnel appointments including a new director of athletics and an elementary assistant principal for the 2026-2027 school year. The meeting also featured a presentation and discussion on newly drafted generative AI guidelines for staff and students, emphasizing ethical use, licensed tools, and ongoing training. Public comments focused on community safety concerns related to a nearby ICE facility, but no procurement or contracting actions related to these issues were taken. The board also approved a memorandum of understanding with the Dysart Education Association for the upcoming school year and the superintendent's year-end performance evaluation and pay increase.
