The Waunakee Community School District annual meeting was held on August 24, 2026 (the notice listed 7:00 p.m.; the metadata date is August 25 UTC). Members reviewed the 2026–27 budget outlook, including an estimated tax rate of $8.80 per $1,000 of equalized value and a proposed school tax levy of $51,473,463. The meeting approved the levy by motion and vote; the final budget and levy were scheduled for board consideration on October 26 after updated enrollment, property-value, revenue, and expenditure figures are available. No specific vendor awards or contracts were announced.

The meeting also authorized the district to purchase, upgrade, and maintain transportation vehicles and to contract for student transportation services; the transcript records a motion and second but does not clearly capture a vote on that resolution. Administrators described two board-approved referendum questions for November 2026: a four-year recurring operational measure and a $97.5 million facilities proposal focused primarily on rebuilding and modernizing portions of the high school, with additional work at the south campus and outdoor athletic fields. The board also discussed a policy under development to reduce annual operational referendum amounts if state funding increases sufficiently.
