The Pleasant Valley Community School District School Board held a meeting on April 27, 2026, where they discussed various administrative and financial matters. Key procurement-related topics included the approval of multiple fund warrants totaling over $1.2 million across general, nutrition, activity, capital projects, and other funds. The board also approved updated board policies related to early retirement benefits and employee handbook language concerning district displacement transfers. A significant discussion focused on changing the online payment processing fee structure from a flat fee to a percentage-based fee (3.51%) starting July 1, 2026, to better align with credit card processing costs, especially for higher payment amounts such as preschool tuition. The board conducted a public hearing and subsequently adopted the 2026-27 budget and property tax levy totaling approximately $28.45 million with a levy rate of $11.87 per $1,000 of taxable valuation. Financial reports highlighted a decrease in the general fund balance and the receipt of $13 million for the Pleasant View and high school CTE addition projects, which will be invested in a government pool. Finally, the board appointed Brietta Collier as the new Chief Financial Officer effective June 15, 2026.
