WORKSHOP - 06232026

This workshop meeting of the WLX Horizon school district, held on June 23, 2026, focused primarily on reviewing the district's educational performance, leadership, and future goals. The superintendent highlighted significant improvements in school ratings, graduation rates, and student proficiency across core subjects, emphasizing the critical role of principals and staff in these achievements. Key procurement-related discussions included the successful on-time, on-budget opening of new schools such as Westwood and plans for a new K-8 school projected to be cost-neutral through property sales. The superintendent also outlined upcoming initiatives tied to a November referendum aimed at funding school safety and teacher pay increases, as well as strategies to enhance revenue through leasing district facilities and exploring health insurance cost savings by joining a larger trust. These initiatives indicate planned capital projects and budget allocations that will impact future procurement and contracting activities. The meeting concluded with expressions of gratitude toward district leadership and staff for their contributions to the district's progress.
