The LibertyDistrict Cloud board held a public hearing and regular meeting on May 11, 2026, focusing extensively on fiscal matters including the revision of the fiscal year 2025-2026 expenditure budget and projections for fiscal year 2026-2027. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of personnel action items, contract awards, and budget allocations. The board reviewed and approved the second budget revision for FY 2025-2026, which included an additional $109,000 in capacity due to increased student membership and one-time state allocations. They also discussed the challenges of managing special education costs and the impact of unfilled positions on budget encumbrances. The board approved an independent contractor agreement for Dr. Bridget Dooy with specific amendments and addressed concerns about procurement compliance and transparency in the selection process. Additionally, the board considered and approved motions related to support staff wage schedules, elimination of a supplemental health savings account incentive, and approval of out-of-state travel for IT staff to a conference. A significant agenda item was the discussion and approval of a resolution to call a special 10% budget override election, with board members debating the timing and strategy for the override given community trust and past election outcomes. The meeting also included updates on military-connected student programs and recognition of retirees and award recipients. Several motions passed with votes recorded, and the board emphasized the importance of clear financial oversight and transparent procurement processes moving forward.
