The Littleton Elementary School District #65 held a board meeting on June 10, 2026, focusing primarily on administrative updates, policy discussions, and budget planning for the 2026-2027 school year. Key procurement-related topics included the presentation of the proposed expenditure budget, which outlined a general budget limit of approximately $57.6 million and an unrestricted capital budget limit of $11.44 million. The board discussed tax rates, district additional assistance funding, and the impact of assessed valuation growth on the budget. Additionally, the board reviewed and discussed several personnel-related policies provided by the Arizona School Boards Association (ASBA), including equal employment opportunity, staff ethics, conflict of interest, and drug-free workplace policies, with plans to amend some policies to include protections for sexual orientation and gender identity. The meeting also addressed concerns raised by staff members regarding employment separations and HR practices, leading to a motion to approve personnel separations with one exception to be further investigated. The board discussed implementing a flat activity fee for student clubs and athletics to reduce financial barriers for families, with plans to communicate these changes to the community and monitor participation impacts. Finally, the board considered scheduling a special meeting to review and adopt the district's strategic plan.
