Regular Board meeting

The Klamath County School District Board’s regular meeting on July 22, 2026 included a review of FY2025–26 general fund finances and several spending decisions. The district reported actual revenue of about $109.9 million against a budget of $112.9 million, and a projected ending fund balance of about $11.3 million. That balance could support five additional student-success-room staff pairs, estimated at roughly $345,000; the positions had been posted, but the discussion did not record a separate vote on that funding. The board also discussed possible funding for two additional roofs and other facility needs, without approving those projects at this meeting.

The board approved the purchase of three 14-passenger activity buses for approximately $340,000; the district had budgeted $500,000 for new equipment, and the buses would replace units that no longer meet emissions requirements and have serious mechanical issues. It also approved FY2026–27 property and casualty insurance coverage (no total premium was stated), grant awards totaling $16,267.34, and an OSBA annual invoice of $1,450. The insurance presentation included discussion of establishing a future risk-management reserve, but no reserve amount or action was approved. The board also noted that nine buses from an earlier 18-bus purchase were bought in FY2025 and the remaining nine in FY2026.
