Board of Education Meeting

The Regional School District 15 Board of Education held a meeting on April 7, 2026, focusing primarily on budget discussions and capital improvement projects. Key procurement-related topics included deliberations on the 2026-2027 school budget, where the board considered a $115,000 reduction by not adding an additional social worker position and restoring gate fees as revenue, resulting in a proposed budget increase of approximately 5.18%. The board discussed reallocating resources to meet student needs without increasing the budget and emphasized the importance of maintaining reserve accounts for unexpected expenses. Additionally, the board approved the final education specifications for a solar panel installation project at Long Meadow Elementary School, moving forward with this capital improvement. Several motions related to budget approvals were passed by roll call vote, reflecting careful consideration of fiscal responsibility and future planning for school facilities.
