# BASD School Board Meeting September 14, 2026

The Burlington Area School District Board meeting on September 14, 2026, included updates on school transportation, grants, budgets, and district programs. A parent raised concerns about a $115-per-quarter charge for bus service to Waller, despite the route already serving the area and the student having used the arrangement without a charge in prior years. The board chair said the matter would be added to a future agenda for discussion. The superintendent reported a generally smooth transition from Thomas Bus to Go Riteway after the company’s sale; no transportation contract award or purchase approval was presented. The district’s grant writer reported 59 applications submitted for school programs and buildings, with 11 awards totaling more than $560,000. For the city and community, more than $4 million in grant requests had been submitted, with over $1.1 million approved to date.

The board approved the consent agenda, which included donations totaling $5,435; beginning and ending cash on hand were reported as $746,534.95 and $685,589.86, respectively. A finance committee workshop reviewed principal budgets, which were described as totaling less than 1% of the district budget. The board also approved five policy reviews with no changes. Community Education reported $180,000 in registration fees for the prior year. No contract award or major procurement approval was identified in the transcript; the bus-fee concern was referred for future discussion.
