PUSD Governing Board Meeting - July 7, 2026

The Prescott Unified School District Governing Board held a meeting on July 7, 2026, where they approved the fiscal year 2027 expenditure budget, noting a slight increase in the secondary tax rate due to lower cash balances offsetting bond payments. The board also approved the list of student and extracurricular fees for the 2026-2027 school year, discussing the composition and financial assistance options related to band fees and other activities. Additionally, the board considered and approved a salary schedule increase for certified occupational therapist assistants to remain competitive and support a new staffing model that reduces full-time occupational therapists while expanding assistant roles, resulting in cost savings and maintained service quality. The meeting included discussions on grant carryforwards, community partnerships, and upcoming school events, but no new contracts or procurement actions were reported.
