The SHUFSD Board of Education meeting, dated October 1, 2026 (meeting title: “BOE Meeting 9.30.26”), included a presentation on possible middle-school schedule changes. Staff outlined three planning scenarios, ranging from a nine-period day with expanded world-language, music, and elective opportunities to a more limited expansion of workshops. Estimated additional annual costs were $619,476 for Scenario 1 and $112,632 for Scenario 3; Scenario 2 would require 4.5 additional FTE, though its cost was not clearly stated in the transcript. The options were discussed in light of budget constraints and student needs, but no schedule option was selected. Staff described the usual course-catalog review and approval process for January.

The board discussed the 2026–27 tax levy after a reduction in assessed value, including the effect of a mall assessment reduction and a newly negotiated PILOT arrangement. The presentation estimated a roughly 6.4% year-over-year levy increase and an average homeowner increase of about $590, approximately $39 more than previously anticipated. The board proceeded to a vote on the levy, though the transcript does not preserve the result clearly. The board also approved financial bills and bids, with no vendors or amounts identified. A public hearing on a permanent property-tax exemption for disabled veterans was scheduled for October 14; no decision on the exemption was recorded. No contract award or specific purchasing decision was identified.
