# KBE Meeting 11.10.2026

The Keene School District Board of Education meeting was held November 10, 2026. The board approved the consent agenda, with eight votes in favor; no procurement awards, bids, contracts, or purchases were identified. Board and superintendent remarks addressed the recent defeat of House Bill 1300’s Question 2, upcoming budget work, and a December 16 public forum on education funding. The board chair noted finance committee meetings planned for January 2 and 9 and a January 19 budget session. The superintendent said the SAU budget represents 3.39% of the total operating budget and described possible effects if it failed, including a default budget with no raises for SAU employees.

During public input, two speakers urged the district to explore universal school breakfast and lunch and bring a proposal to voters. One cited an estimate of about $300 per student per year for elementary schools and encouraged the board to examine costs and state and federal reimbursements. No action or spending commitment on universal meals was taken. The meeting recessed to address streaming issues.
