# 8/24/2026 SDO Board Meeting

The School District of Onalaska Board of Education meeting was held August 24, 2026. The board approved the 2026–27 athletic booster, band booster, and choir parent support group activity and donation plans. The band boosters reported donating about $77,500 in the prior year—including roughly $22,000 from a completed capital campaign for a trailer and drumline equipment—and anticipate contributing about $50,000 this year. The choir group reported more than $67,000 raised in the prior year. Administrators also reported that the final phase of a school construction project was completed in time for teachers to return to their classrooms, and that Irving replaced playground equipment and swing sets; no project costs, vendors, or new construction awards were presented.

The year-to-date 2025–26 financial report showed $54.4 million in operating revenue, approximately 100.1% of budget, with expenses modestly exceeding budget but covered by higher-than-expected revenue. The board discussed ongoing referendum planning, including that staff had reviewed and narrowed the search among potential companies, but made no vendor selection or contract award. The board also adopted the 2026–27 Onalaska Online Academy handbook. No procurement contract or bid approval was identified in the transcript.
