Board of Education Meeting - August 24th, 2026

The District Board held a Board of Education meeting on August 24, 2026, focusing primarily on the school district's financial forecast and budget planning. The board reviewed revenue and expense projections through fiscal year 2031, highlighting concerns about a projected negative fund balance starting in FY29 and the need for a levy to maintain financial stability. Discussions included revenue sources such as property taxes, state funding, Medicaid reimbursements, and grants, including a potential $3 million energy efficiency grant for facility upgrades. The board approved consent agenda items related to budget appropriations, acceptance of gifts, and annual agreements such as a transit contract for special education transportation. A new policy regarding the procurement and use of emergency asthma inhalers in schools was introduced, with Prometica supplying and replacing the inhalers. The meeting concluded with personnel approvals and a move to executive session to discuss employment and property sale matters, with no further action taken afterward.
