# Mandan Public School Board 2026-10-05

The Mandan Public School Board meeting, dated October 5, 2026 in the title (metadata lists October 6 UTC), opened with condolences following a fatal community car accident. The board approved the FY2027 budget, including a 131.29-mill levy—an increase of 1.7 mills—and projected general-fund revenue of $69.2 million against expenditures of $68.8 million. The budget passed unanimously. The board also unanimously approved a sealed-bid process to market residential property at the old Mandan High School site before year-end. The packet cited an appraisal of about $880,000 for one parcel and about $170,000 for a smaller western parcel; the district plans to promote the sale to local realtors and developers. The board discussed retaining or separately considering a commercial parcel at the site, with no action taken on it.

The board approved the consent agenda and the resignation of a second-grade teacher, with liquidated damages waived. The superintendent reported planned curriculum reviews in social studies, PE/health, and reading/language arts, and described a gradual transition to a digital board-packet platform. A North Dakota School Boards Association representative presented the voluntary Students First governance program, which receives state funding covering more than 75% of its cost; the board took no action on participation. No vendor contract awards or purchasing approvals were identified.
