# Regular Board Meeting October 15, 2026 Meeting Recording

The Bellevue School District regular board meeting on October 15, 2026, included approval of the consent agenda and a preliminary 2025–26 year-end financial and October enrollment report. Staff reported the district’s fund balance at approximately $22.3 million, still below the roughly $27 million level required by board policy but substantially improved from the prior year. They credited staffing and position controls and lower-than-expected MSOC spending with helping manage costs. October headcount was 19,392, slightly below the prior year and consistent with a planned enrollment decline; the current-year FTE figure was reported above budget. Staff also reported 1,928 non-resident students—about 10% of enrollment—generating approximately $14.5 million in revenue, and described the district’s policy of prioritizing resident students for enrollment and transfers. A further study session on non-resident enrollment was planned for the next board meeting.

The superintendent also described an education technology design team reviewing the purpose and use of technology in classrooms; no purchasing decision was presented. Public comments addressed specialized deaf and hard-of-hearing services, school safety, literacy, physical therapy, and dyslexia awareness, among other topics. No contracts, vendors, bids, or procurement awards were identified in the transcript.
