The board approved the budget unanimously by roll call and approved Resolution 2026-007, establishing a total tax levy of $29,040,389: $21.84 million for the general fund, $7 million for referendum-approved debt, and $200,000 for community services. The projected mill rate decreases from 0.806 to 0.799 per $1,000 of property value. The board also noted donations, including amounts of $1,550 and $185, classroom snack totes, and winter coats; the donations did not require board approval.

No contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were made. Administrators discussed exploring a virtual high school program and evaluating curriculum providers or purchased services to support it, with staff involvement in vetting and no provider decision yet.
