# Mandan Public School Board 2026-09-21

The Mandan Public School Board held a meeting on September 21, 2026, focusing on several administrative and financial topics. Key procurement-related discussions included the appraisal and potential sale of the old Mandan High School property, with plans to bring marketing and bid options back to the board. The board also reviewed and approved compliance reports and open enrollment waiver requests. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the budget hearing, where the district's enrollment projections, funding sources, and expenditures were presented. The budget highlighted a $69.2 million revenue projection against $68.8 million in expenditures, anticipating a slight surplus. Major budget items included personnel costs, health insurance premiums, transportation, and operations. The board discussed mill levy adjustments, including adding a 12-mill miscellaneous fund levy and removing the tuition levy, resulting in a small overall increase. Transportation costs, particularly fuel price escalations, were noted as a potential budget impact. No votes on contracts or vendor selections were recorded, but the discussion on property appraisal and budget allocations may influence future procurement decisions.
