Mayfield board approves 2026–27 calendar, five‑year forecast and multiple personnel agreements; routine business passes by roll call
Summary
At its May 28 meeting the Mayfield City School District Board of Education approved the 2026–27 school calendar, student handbooks, a five‑year financial forecast, multiple personnel continuing contracts and tenure recommendations, and several service agreements and financial addenda, with motions passing by recorded roll call votes.
The Mayfield City School District Board of Education on May 28 approved a package of routine but consequential items including the 2026–27 school calendar, the district’s student handbooks, a five‑year financial forecast and several personnel and contract items.
Why it matters: Adopting the school calendar fixes next year’s instructional schedule, the five‑year forecast frames the district’s budget assumptions amid proposed state changes to reserve and forecasting rules, and approval of successor agreements and personnel actions finalizes compensation and staffing that affect operations.

Treasurer’s context: The district treasurer briefed the board on the forecast’s assumptions (the forecast period beginning July 1, 2025, through mid‑2029), noting the forecast incorporates (1) proceeds from the 5‑mill continuing levy passed Nov. 5, 2024; (2) conservative state revenue estimates mirroring a lower scenario in the current budget discussions; and (3) updated salary and benefit assumptions tied to recently completed successor agreements. The treasurer also noted the district adjusted the assumed health‑insurance trend for 2026 from 7% to 2% for planning purposes and explained the board had sent a letter to area legislators regarding House Bill 96 and proposed limits on cash reserves.
No contested votes or post‑meeting directions were recorded on these items during the May 28 meeting; where the transcript records speakers moving and seconding a motion, that attribution is noted above.
