Board of Education Meeting - July 27th, 2026

The District Board held a Board of Education meeting on July 27, 2026, focusing primarily on fiscal year-end financial reporting and personnel appointments. The treasurer presented a detailed financial overview, noting the district ended the fiscal year with 97 days cash on hand, slightly above the forecasted 95 days, with revenues up by 0.4% and expenses down by 0.2%. However, the district dipped into reserves by approximately $3.4 million, largely due to capital projects such as roofing and bus maintenance. The report highlighted a nearly 6% decline in state aid and a 2% increase in property taxes, with overall expenses totaling about $108 million, 86% of which were salaries and benefits. The board also approved the appointment of Mr. Stephen Rubansky as principal of Stringer Elementary School, noting a cost-saving measure to absorb his previous career readiness coordinator role into other departments, contributing to $2.655 million in staff savings. Additional approvals included agreements for vision and hearing services for students with disabilities and various personnel actions. No new procurement contracts or capital project bids were discussed during this meeting.
