ACS Board of Trustees Meeting - June 8, 2026

The Anderson Community Schools Board of Trustees held a meeting on June 8, 2026, covering a variety of topics including presentations on nursing services, student projects, and graduation statistics. Key procurement-related actions included approval of the financial report for May, authorization to donate fitness equipment to the Anderson Police Department, approval of summer 2026 compensation rates for instructional staff at $45 per hour, and the declaration of surplus Chromebooks for disposal. The board also discussed and unanimously approved placing a referendum renewal on the November 3, 2026 ballot to continue the existing property tax levy at the current rate of 10.77 cents per $100 assessed value, aimed at addressing budget deficits and maintaining school operations. No new tax increase was proposed, but the referendum is critical to offset projected revenue losses and ongoing deficits. The meeting included motions and votes on these procurement and budget matters, reflecting the board's focus on sustaining educational programs and infrastructure amid financial challenges.
