Kingman Unified School District #20 Monthly Board Meeting March 2026

The Kingman Unified School District #20 held its monthly board meeting on March 11, 2026, where key discussions focused on the approval of staff raises, insurance rate increases, and the school calendar for the 2026-27 academic year. The board approved a 6% overall increase in insurance rates for employees and a $1.2 million raise package for certified and classified exempt staff. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to debating the proposed changes to the school calendar, including the elimination of intersession breaks due to budget constraints and funding reductions. After public input and a survey showing mixed support, the board voted 3-2 to maintain the current calendar for one more year and revisit the proposed three-year calendar plan later. Additionally, the board authorized a reduction in force for certain staff positions for the 2026-27 school year, emphasizing a fair process based on qualifications and impact on students rather than seniority alone. No new contracts or procurement actions were reported during this meeting.
