Board members said the strategic plan content remains unchanged from prior drafts, with only format edits occurring so far. Members who had met with a cited consultant said the district's school improvement plans and the strategic plan appeared to be in alignment.

On Policy 1800/49, staff described a proposal to provide an online community bulletin board on the district website where non-school organizations (for example, recreational leagues or youth camps) could submit flyers to be posted for public view. The policy draft retains approval processes and limits on permitted content; staff said the general practice would be to post flyers to the bulletin board rather than distribute them directly to students, though building principals would still have discretion to send selected flyers home with students when appropriate.

Board members did not take a final vote on the strategic plan content or the policy revision at this meeting; both items were presented for review and will be edited further before final approval.","The board reviewed the draft 2025-2030 strategic plan (format changes only) and discussed a proposed revision to Policy 1800 to establish an online community bulletin board for non-school organization flyers; principals retain discretion to send physical flyers when appropriate.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6538762,"Board approves Mammoth design agreement; board discusses $3.2M estimate for track and field project",233,551000,784000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3799165-a5d0e1bed5108d8c77edf6be5e29c8d9&start=551&end=784","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3799165-a5d0e1bed5108d8c77edf6be5e29c8d9/thumbnail_551000.jpg","/articles/6538762/South-Dakota/Board-approves-Mammoth-design-agreement-board-discusses-32M-estimate-for-track-and-field-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6538762-f50b0b5727594813887a00466a01703a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170258&Signature=K4HWG7E0b8j-UqP~4w2yvrFLRr-ke9sali9UnTsL4jCYv02xEiiirnHGqa9LfQKTcSufGQXO19NnLxSgLQQ8iiZapHqWQaZDBq3jeQvdDbEk2~BBgIFBXHpBtvlVp~FfHYRnWL1KcBOSp4ReSRhz7GXt-7Ij~Vbbht~vFpuEb-xmYy3xkSREVbu-kB6M3aFRGiYbSYIvoZAB0~S4Eis0nkf2-VkybEOI8iGcHzcZtcRKVBYf25xnTLJt4iaxvC9NNEIUtxO2g5zQLhigy~jGW7GtrobNNNMfu~YH5lX8FeVjaDxLDD4g4oTFOKfk-LW6GU1pcF0KimBgkOSoAPL1QQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Spearfish School District 40-2 on June 9 approved a design agreement with Mammoth for a proposed track and field renovation and discussed preliminary cost estimates and financing projections.

The design services exhibit presented to the board listed a $96,000 fee for design services; an optional drainage design for the east-side area between the track and parking lot was listed at $24,000. Staff recommended approving both Exhibit A (design services) and Exhibit B (construction-phase services, should the district choose to proceed).

Staff and the facility committee explained that a construction estimate for the combined scope (track, field, drainage, bleachers, press box and lighting) was roughly $3.2 million in the materials presented. That estimate included a track-only design estimate of about $1.4 million (including sidewalk and fencing); an additional roughly $1 million for installing artificial turf and associated drainage for the field; a bleacher and press-box package estimated in the materials at roughly three-quarters of a million; and sports lighting as an alternate of about $310,000. Staff emphasized the figures were estimates and that the facility committee would refine scope and present a guaranteed maximum price if the board later authorized construction.

Staff noted the district participates in a cooperative purchasing agreement that could allow work and materials to proceed without separate bidding; exhibit B would allow Mammoth to perform the construction administration and builds on the cooperative pricing.

Board members also reviewed capital-outlay projections prepared by the finance committee. Those projections included a $3,000,000 assumption for the project in a five-year planning model. Finance staff said, under that scenario, the district's expenditures would exceed revenues for two years before fund balance began to rebuild in subsequent years; staff said the projections assume modest annual growth in capital outlay revenues from new growth and inflation.

The board moved to approve the Mammoth agreement (exhibits A and B) for design services and to allow Mammoth to be the design-builder if the district later authorized construction. The motion carried by voice vote.","The district approved a design agreement with Mammoth for a potential track and field renovation.

Under the changes presented in board materials and approved at the meeting, single-game student tickets (grades K-12) will rise to $4 (a $1 increase) and single-game adult tickets will rise to $6 (a $1 increase). The annual student activity pass was set at $30 (a $5 increase); adult annual passes at $80 (a $5 increase); a family pass (two adults and two or more students) was listed at $185 (a $10 increase). The district indicated senior citizen activity tickets remain $5 with no increase.

The board also considered three BoundPro service options. Staff recommended the BoundPro cashless-pro option and said the district would pay the $3,800 annual subscription fee and absorb transaction fees so that the system would be free to families. Staff said the cashless pro option would also provide scheduling and paperwork benefits for coaches and the middle school.

Board members moved to approve the ticket-rate changes and the BoundPro cashless-pro agreement. The motions were approved during the meeting by voice vote.

Board members framed the changes as modest increases after roughly nine years without single-game or activity-pass increases, and said the fee adjustments and the chosen BoundPro option would help the district cover transaction and subscription costs while providing online ticketing and administrative tools.","The Spearfish board approved increases to single-game and season activity-pass prices and authorized a BoundPro agreement, choosing the cashless-pro option with district-covered fees, according to materials presented June 9.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":44,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":50,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6538771,"Spearfish School Board adopts 2025-26 budget, raises special-education levy by 2¢",84,288000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3799165-a5d0e1bed5108d8c77edf6be5e29c8d9&start=204&end=288","/articles/6538771/South-Dakota/Spearfish-School-Board-adopts-2025-26-budget-raises-special-education-levy-by-2","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6538771-64f79f6b2238131560a22251fda90f31/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170258&Signature=KfBIhj4DTPGgogexVYL4-e3zORDvXEYMx2r8SC-IDQyvqNlS6MqxGo7V5nJlheBx52TMYVq1lP8iKOl9u04BjyGZw10rUZeSzWGBMLV0npbs2h-KLjuDE632~dPGT0zFu4qEXggfIQ98rWeKQybZTVmwdD6Qr2G7dVuqVBaJFusoHc-Z91yxph7x6g2ZRrhHqxZly12Epa4dnaxRkkscxOwPoGcNpRE7Gy2ANr7eyTj31lgNJ~Jr9yLoQibW6HrdEJ0lru1njqhQZIE~py8zKekp0zTPmkr5ljjd3CF3H9I9RwM~VplvKK-2WfkY3HyojO6X7uLG-r5RIvOl1SOM0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Spearfish School District 40-2 Board of Education on June 9 adopted the district budget for the 2025-26 school year and approved a 2-cent increase to the district's special-education levy.

Board members voted to set the special-education levy at $1.21 per $1,000 of assessed value, a change the board's presenter said will generate about $30,000 in additional revenue. The presenter said that with the increase the district would not have to draw deeply on its fund balance; a previously projected draw of roughly $37,000 would be reduced to closer to $6,000.

The board's presenter said the state maximum for the special-education levy is 1.462 per $1,000 and that the district's adopted rate remains below that cap. The presenter also noted the district is foregoing some potential revenue compared with the statewide maximum, a figure he said would amount to approximately $759,000 in unlevied revenue (as described in the staff materials).

Board members moved and approved the budget as presented. The vote was taken orally and recorded as approved during the public meeting; no roll-call tally by name appears in the transcript.

Board discussion focused on the levy change and the district's projected revenues and expenditures; staff provided a written budget document showing expenditures, revenues and recommended levy rates for capital and operations.

The board did not adopt any changes to other levy lines during the motion and directed staff to implement the adopted levy and budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year.

The district noted the budget documents and levy rates will be available in the board packet and posted as required by district policy and state law.","The Spearfish School District board approved the 2025-26 budget and a 2-cent increase to the special-education levy, a change the district says will generate roughly $30,000 and reduce the projected draw on fund balance.","actionData","errors"]
