PLCS Board of Education Meeting September 14, 2026

The Papillion La Vista Community Schools Board of Education held a meeting on September 14, 2026, which included a budget hearing and regular agenda items. The budget hearing detailed the district's proposed budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, highlighting a 4.8% increase in the general fund budget to approximately $164 million, driven by factors such as a new elementary school opening, increased special education costs, and rising labor and operational expenses. The board discussed various funds including the general fund, bond fund, special building fund, and others, with specific allocations for technology sustainability, building improvements, and student activities. The board also reviewed tax levy information, noting a slight overall decrease in the levy rate and that the district would not need to attend the county tax hearing due to staying within state-imposed limits. Additionally, the meeting covered policy reviews, district goals for 2026-2027 focusing on student achievement and system efficiency, superintendent performance goals, and a voluntary separation application policy for certificated teachers. No contract awards or vendor selections were discussed during this meeting.
