Board hears ranked list of unfunded needs and a $4.525M-per-year operational referendum proposal
Summary
Administrators presented a ranked list of about 70 unfunded needs (top 20 highlighted), including districtwide camera/door upgrades, bus cameras, a high-school roof section, and track and tennis-court replacement. Finance staff proposed a $4,525,000-per-year (5-year, nonrecurring) operational referendum on April 7, 2026, written to aim for no mill-rate increase.
District Administrator Dr. Mueller presented the board with a ranked list of unfunded needs for the 2026–27 budget cycle, describing it as part of the annual budget development process and a tool to align funding to district priorities. He said administrators and building leaders submitted roughly 70 individual needs; he presented the top 20 and spoke in detail about the top items: districtwide cameras and secure doors (nearing end of life), bus-camera upgrades, an older section of the high-school roof that needs replacement, and a failing track and tennis courts with substantial cracks.
