The Cedar Falls Community School District Board of Education held a meeting on September 14, 2026, where they approved the consent agenda including accounts payable and open enrollment. A significant portion of the meeting focused on financial reports detailing various district funds such as the general fund, management fund, SAVE, PLE, debt service, student activity, and nutrition fund, highlighting revenues, expenditures, and cash investments. The board approved the second reading of updated board policies reflecting recent legislative changes, many of which are unfunded mandates. They also approved the 2026-27 superintendent and board goals, emphasizing learning models, technology use, culture and climate, and professional learning communities. Importantly, the board accepted the final completion and acceptance of phase two of the community natatorium construction project, awarded to Peters Construction Corporation, with a total expenditure under budget at approximately $9.2 million. Discussions included plans for future capital projects such as junior high remodels and pool fill-ins funded by sales tax and PLE dollars, and the upcoming renewal of the Physical Plant and Equipment (PPE) levy set for a March 2027 vote. The meeting also touched on legislative advocacy topics including AI policy development and health insurance pooling for school employees.
