Staff facility-use rates 2025–26 The board approved the staff rates for facility use for the 2025–26 year, citing a contract-driven increase and a $3-per-unit adjustment. The motion was seconded and approved by roll-call vote.
2025–26 school budget (amended) After extended discussion, the board amended the superintendent’s proposal and approved an amended budget increase of $3,611,017 (4.14%), as reflected in the board’s motion.
