NSD Regular Board of Trustees Meeting Tuesday April 21, 2026

The Nampa School District Board of Trustees held their regular meeting on April 21, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. Key procurement actions included approval of a permanent utility easement to the city of Nampa for water line upgrades at Central Elementary School and authorization for the assistant superintendent of operations to execute the agreement. The board also approved a revised site improvement scope and authorized an amended contract for parking lot improvements at the West Learning Center, with the project remaining under budget at approximately $4 million. Additionally, the board approved increasing transcript fees for alumni and corporate requests to offset rising costs associated with the Parchment software system. Curriculum adoption decisions were made, approving the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum for middle school while rejecting the OpenSciEd science curriculum due to misalignment with district models. The board also discussed and voted on updates to high school graduation requirements, ultimately approving an increase in math credits but rejecting a broader increase to 58 total credits, citing concerns about student workload and elective offerings. Financial updates highlighted a slight decrease in federal Title I and II funding and a 14% increase in health insurance costs, which were largely offset by state contributions. The district continues to manage budget constraints while maintaining educational programming and staffing levels.
