The Manhattan-Ogden Public Schools (USD 383) Board of Education met on October 7, 2026. The board approved the consent agenda, including donations and grants, personnel items, and warrants. During discussion of the warrants, a board member highlighted a fuel purchase from Mid Kansas Cooperative Association of slightly more than $35,000 for one load, noting that fuel costs have risen from roughly $17,000–$22,000 per load and could pressure the district’s budget. The board also advanced a proposal to increase facilities-use fees for fiscal year 2027 on first reading; the transcript does not capture the vote result for that item.

The board gave final approval to Anderson Knight Architects’ proposal for architectural services for the Marlat Elementary repainting and flooring replacement project, for $34,795, and to CBS Manhattan LLC’s $49,450 proposal to install electronic access controls at the Lincoln Education Center gym; both motions carried 6–0. Other discussion included student programs, district reports, school start times, and community economic-development incentives, but no additional district procurement decisions were identified.
