# Raymond Regular Board Meeting 10.19.26

The Raymond School District #14 regular board meeting (titled October 19, 2026; meeting metadata dated October 20) reviewed and adopted the 2026–27 final budget and tax levy. The board approved the final budget and voted to levy $2,952,273 in property taxes; the reported mill rate was about $5.38. The budget includes higher classroom supplies and maintenance, increased transportation costs attributed partly to higher diesel prices, and an additional $18,000 in small-school rural grant funding, used mainly for student computers such as Chromebooks. No capital improvements over $10,000 were budgeted, and no contracts, bids, or vendor awards were presented. The board also approved the financial report and third Friday student count.

Facilities updates noted completed playground and parking-area sealing and installation of a kitchen exhaust fan, cooler, and freezer, but no related spending amounts or procurement decisions were stated. The PTO reported budgeting about $5,500 to provide yearbooks to all students and maintaining a dedicated playground fund, but these were PTO activities rather than district contract awards. The board received updates on policy revisions, including AI-related policies, and curriculum planning; no procurement action was taken on those items.
