FSD School Board Meeting - June 16, 2026

The FSD School Board held a meeting on June 16, 2026, primarily focused on budget discussions and several resolutions related to school district operations. The board reviewed the proposed 2026-2027 budget, highlighting increased state funding through the Governor's May revision, including a 2.87% statutory COLA and additional discretionary increases, as well as significant special education funding boosts estimated to generate approximately $4.55 million in additional revenue. The budget presentation included multi-year projections showing a shift from previously projected deficits to a surplus of about $1 million for the upcoming year. The board also approved several resolutions, including an increase in statutory school fees on new residential and commercial construction, authorization for temporary interfund transfers to manage cash flow due to state and federal funding timing, and the annual declaration of need for fully qualified educators. No contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the budget and fee adjustments indicate ongoing fiscal planning and resource allocation for the district's educational and operational needs.
