# Cascade School Board Regular Meeting—November 9, 2026

The Cascade School Board’s regular meeting on November 9, 2026, included updates on district finances, student programs, campus safety, and a proposed athletic-facility fundraising effort. Administrators reported that increased PERS costs are pressuring the budget; the district is monitoring monthly expenditures and staffing, and expects 2027–28 to be difficult. The board also heard that the FFA national convention trip—previously authorized—was successful, though it is expensive and planned every other year. No new contract awards, bids, or purchasing approvals were identified.

The district discussed raising private contributions for track infield turf, which is not included in the bond; fencing and possible stadium work were described as later phases. Fundraising plans include business tables at about $1,000 each and sponsored baskets of at least $200, with further planning underway. The district also plans to roll out the Raptor emergency-response app in January, but the transcript gave no procurement or cost details. The board approved prior meeting minutes, voted for an OSBA board candidate, and approved an OSBA bylaw amendment; these votes were not procurement-related.
