School Board Meeting 6-22-26

The Sioux Falls School District held a school board meeting on June 22, 2026, which included a resolution honoring Todd Vick for his 25 years of service as a business manager and district representative. The board approved the resolution by majority vote. The meeting featured a detailed report on the 2025-26 athletics and fine arts activities participation, highlighting strong student engagement, program successes, and academic achievements associated with extracurricular involvement. The board unanimously acknowledged this report. A significant procurement-related discussion involved the approval of an opt-out resolution to exceed the tax limitation measure by $1.9 million to support the district's general fund budget for the 2026-27 fiscal year. This opt-out amount represents a decrease from the previous year and aims to address funding gaps due to state aid shortfalls and inflation. The resolution was approved by at least a two-thirds vote of the board, authorizing the county auditor to levy the necessary taxes unless overturned by a public vote. Additionally, the board canvassed and accepted the results of the June 2, 2026, school board election, officially declaring three members elected. No new contracts, RFPs, or vendor selections were discussed during the meeting.
