September 8th, 2026 5:30 pm Board Meeting | Osceola School District

The Osceola School District Board held a meeting on September 8, 2026, which included a final public hearing to adopt the district's millage rates and budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The board approved a total millage rate of 5.277 mills, slightly above the rollback rate, generating increased revenue due to property value growth. The total budget adopted was approximately $1.86 billion, covering general operations, capital projects, debt service, and special revenue funds. The meeting also included approval of administrative appointments and transfers, out-of-state travel, and a tentative salary and benefits agreement for instructional bargaining unit employees. Public comments addressed concerns such as student program placement, classroom safety, and facility maintenance issues. The superintendent emphasized the district's financial stewardship and the need for community support of the operational millage to sustain school services and staff compensation amid state funding challenges.
