Oshkosh Area Board of Education 6/24/26

The Oshkosh Area Board of Education held a meeting on June 24, 2026, focusing primarily on educational updates, student achievements, and administrative reports. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of health assistant substitute pay rates, with new hourly rates set for LPNs and CNAs to bring substitute needs in-house, and a consensus to implement a phased 10-cent increase in lunch and breakfast costs for non-community schools to manage rising food service expenses. Additionally, updates were provided on the Ashkosh North Fieldhouse floor project, which is ahead of schedule for completion by mid-August. The board also reviewed budget update scenarios and discussed exploring alternative health care providers to potentially reduce costs. Policy and governance committee reports covered handbook changes and upcoming policy considerations. No contract awards or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, but budget and staffing cost considerations were addressed.
