# Board of Education Meeting 10/26/2026

The School District of New Berlin Board of Education met on October 26, 2026. The board approved the original budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, and separately approved a 2026–27 property tax levy of $46,417,439, including $10,000 for capital expansion projects. Administrators attributed the lower-than-anticipated tax burden to higher state aid, enrollment, and conservative budgeting, while cautioning that the tax rate may not remain at this level. The board also accepted the consent agenda, including financial reports, and received a donation report; donations included $35,000 from INPRO for district use, including the playground, and funds for co-curricular programs and field-trip transportation.

The board revised the superintendent evaluation process to allow a goal-tracking document to be used in place of a presentation, and approved the employment performance and compensation report. No contract awards, vendor selections, or bid approvals were identified.
