Aug. 11, 2026 -- Board of Education Meeting

The School District of Janesville Board of Education held a regular meeting on August 11, 2026, focusing primarily on financial and budgetary matters related to an upcoming operational referendum. The board discussed the need to exceed revenue limit authority to maintain class sizes, student programs, and services, with resolutions passed unanimously to authorize the budget to exceed revenue limits for the 2029-2030 and 2030-2031 school years and to submit the referendum question to voters in the November 2026 election. The presentation detailed the district's funding challenges, including expiring previous referendums and limited state aid growth, emphasizing the importance of community support to sustain educational programs and facilities. Additionally, the board reviewed recent capital improvements such as a $1.25 million roof replacement and upcoming projects for athletic fields and building maintenance. Other topics included the introduction of a new adaptive sports league, ongoing research into an employee health care clinic, and academic performance updates. No new contracts or vendor selections were reported, but the financial resolutions and capital projects indicate ongoing procurement and budget planning activities.
