Board approves curriculum purchases, raises school meal prices and records executive-session personnel actions
Summary
At the June 11 meeting the board approved multiple curriculum resource purchases, a 15% student meal-price increase for 2025–26, noted a 4% decrease in liability premiums, and, after executive session, approved student transfer requests and teacher contract releases with waived penalties.
The Auburn-Washburn Board of Education took several financial and personnel actions June 11, approving curriculum resource purchases, a food-service price increase and recording executive-session decisions on student transfers and teacher contract releases.
On consent and action items the board approved the following motions (all passed 6–0): curriculum resource purchases presented as action items — $3,151.93 (agenda item 7.01), $36,685 (skills for success curriculum, 7.02) and $25,067 (English learner resources, 7.03) — and approved a 15% increase in student meal prices for the 2025–26 school year (7.04). Earlier in the meeting Brett Bauer reported a roughly 4% decrease in district property-and-casualty insurance premiums and workers’ compensation renewals.
The board entered an executive session to discuss students and nonelective personnel; upon returning to open session the board approved district student transfer requests for 2025–26 and approved requests for teachers to be released from their contracts and waived associated penalties. Both motions passed 6–0.
Board members instructed staff to continue communications and implementation steps for those resource purchases and the meal-price change, and staff said they would follow up on operational details tied to the changes.
