The MSD Board held a regular meeting on June 8, 2026, which included a detailed budget hearing and approval of the amended 2025-2026 budget and the proposed 2026-2027 budget. The board reviewed revenue projections, expenditures including salaries, benefits, purchased services, supplies, and capital outlay, and discussed a 19.5% increase in health insurance premiums. They also approved fee increases for student meals and athletic season passes to address rising costs. Additionally, the board discussed potential facility use fee updates to better recoup costs for maintenance and utilities, and considered budget cuts due to a failed levy, including reductions in teaching, administrative, and classified staff positions, elimination of some security contracts, and suspension of scheduled technology purchases. Several motions were passed related to budget approval, fee increases, use of football pads for summer events, approval of a student trip to Orlando, and establishment of a new middle school cheerleading club. The board also addressed ongoing policy reviews and plans for relocating the community school due to lease non-renewal.
