In new business the board approved a lease agreement with the Town of Dale for preschool space in the Dale community center (upper level, two rooms).

The board approved the 2026–27 school calendar as submitted.
The board opened and closed a tentative‑agreement public hearing on the teacher contract; representatives of the bargaining committee spoke in appreciation of the process but no formal change to the contract was recorded at this meeting.
