Dysart Governing Board Meeting - December 15, 2025

The Dysart Schools Governing Board held a meeting on December 15, 2025, which included a public hearing on the district's second budget revision for the fiscal year. The revision reflected updated enrollment figures and state allocations, increasing the maintenance and operations fund budget from $222.26 million to $224.5 million to support ongoing operating needs. Capital funds were adjusted slightly downward to reconcile with state figures, with significant projects including window and weatherization upgrades and a new roof at Simmeron Springs. The board also approved the pre-educator preparation program aimed at addressing teacher shortages, with a proposed budget of approximately $254,550 funded from professional development money. Additionally, the board reviewed and approved contracts and employment notices for certificated, licensed, and classified staff for the 2026-2027 school year. Discussions included academic performance standards for student athletes and the impact of raising grade requirements for participation. Future agenda items were requested to review curriculum policies and board member conflict of interest policies. Motions to approve the revised budget, contracts, and the pre-educator program were passed during the meeting.
