School Board Meeting September 22, 2026

The Fargo School Board held a meeting on September 22, 2026, where key procurement and budget matters were discussed. The board approved the sale of general obligation building fund bonds for the Horseman project, with TD Financial Products winning the bid at a 4.58% interest rate. The board also gave final approval to the 2026-2027 budget totaling approximately $98.3 million, which included adjustments to property tax levies, state revenue estimates, and expenditures related to safety and security modernization projects. The budget maintained a strong fund balance important for Moody's bond rating. Additionally, the board discussed ongoing grant-funded educational programs and partnerships, as well as upcoming contract negotiations with teachers for the 2027-2029 school years. No new capital projects were initiated, but the board noted that the building fund is currently at capacity due to recent projects.
