A public hearing on the proposed 2026 school budget, the 2026 capital projects finance plan and a five-year bus replacement plan was held; officials presented advertised totals and heard no public comment, a brief hearing record shows.

At the hearing, a staff member summarized the advertised amounts, saying the education budget was presented as $35,000,000, operations as $16,500,000 and the total advertised budget as $56,928,184. Debt service was described in the presentation as roughly $4.0 million. The staff member also outlined capital projects by year: $3,812,000 for 2026, $4,314,000 for 2027 and $8,915,000 for 2028. The bus replacement plan was described as a five-year schedule beginning in 2026.

"This is a public hearing, on the 2026 school budget, the 2026, capital project finance plan, and the 2026 bus replacement plan," the hearing officer said at the start of the meeting. The staff member cautioned that the figures were estimates: "Again, these are all estimates," the staff member said.

No members of the public spoke during the hearing period. Following the presentation and the absence of public comment, the hearing was adjourned.

The record does not show any motions, votes or formal approvals taken at the hearing; the session was a legally required opportunity for public input on the proposed budgets and plans. The transcript does not specify next steps such as adoption dates, public comment deadlines, or whether the advertised amounts will be adjusted before final adoption.
