# BOF & HR AND TLE & PS Committee Mtgs - September 1, 2026

The School District of Beloit’s Business Operations & Finance/HR and Teaching, Learning, Equity & Pupil Services committee meetings on September 1, 2026, focused on year-end finances and the 2026–27 budget. The district reported an estimated year-end deficit of about $800,000, subject to grant reconciliations, and discussed whether to cover it with fund balance or OPEB funds. The preliminary budget remained roughly $400,000–$500,000 short, potentially closer to $560,000 if additional costs are included. A telephone-system upgrade was estimated at about $360,000; existing technology funds may cover most of it, with additional funding or reductions elsewhere still under discussion. Potential SRO costs were also discussed but had not been approved. No budget or contract award was voted on. Staff outlined a possible auction of surplus assets, including a food truck, a 15-passenger van, and miscellaneous equipment; no auction approval was recorded.

The committee received insurance guidance on maintaining coverage for unoccupied school buildings, including Cunningham, through continued monitoring and upkeep; no building or insurance action was taken. Members also discussed summer-school attendance, transportation costs, and whether to adjust future program sites and busing. In Teaching, Learning, Equity & Pupil Services, members voted to postpone review of the human growth and development curriculum until a time set by administration and the committee, but before the start of the 2027–28 school year. A proposed elementary alternative-education program, potentially funded through Title I and targeted to begin in the second semester of 2027, was presented for discussion only; staffing, funding, safety planning, and operating details require further development.
