LSR7 Board of Education Meeting - 9/29/26

The Lee’s Summit R-7 Board of Education meeting on September 29, 2026, included routine district updates and financial actions. The board approved a $1,965,473.28 transfer from the general revenue fund to the special revenue fund and approved the treasurer’s report and payment of bills. A board member also reported attending the beam-signing for the new Greenwood Elementary facility; no construction contract, vendor selection, or project amount was discussed. No other procurement awards or purchasing decisions were identified in the transcript.

The main financial discussion concerned the proposed 2026–27 tax levy and district fund balance. Members discussed cost pressures, potential budget reductions, and the effects of different voluntary rollback levels. An amendment proposing a rollback of 0.4524 was recast with a total levy of 5.1208 and a stated increase of 0.4317; discussion continued, but the transcript ends before a vote or final action on the levy is captured. Public comment raised concerns about Chromebook use and learning costs, while the rest of the meeting included student and staff recognitions and school updates.
