2026-06-08 MTLSD School Board Joint Discussion/Voting Regular Meeting

The My Lebo School Board held a joint discussion and voting regular meeting on June 8, 2026, focusing on end-of-year goal reviews, policy updates, and financial reports. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of annual dairy and ice cream bids for food service operations, with acknowledgment of increased costs incorporated into the next fiscal year's budget. The board also approved a $45,000 contract with Allegheny Health Network for strength and conditioning coaching services for the 2026-2027 school year, pending final legal review. Additionally, the board discussed transitioning to a new agenda management platform, Keystone Agenda, which is expected to reduce costs by approximately $8,000 and improve user experience. Financial reports highlighted a projected surplus of $2.7 million for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, attributed to budget freezes on non-essential items, personnel savings, and higher-than-expected revenues, moving the district closer to its goal of an 8% fund balance to support long-term financial health and potential future capital investments. The board also reviewed donations, budgetary transfers, and tax refunds, and approved the 2026-2027 administrative budget for the South Central Area Special Schools Joint totaling $461,000. Policy committee updates included the review of 14 new policies and retirement of nine others, scheduled for board action in the following week. Overall, the meeting emphasized fiscal responsibility, strategic planning, and community engagement in support of district operations and student services.
