Summary
At a first read, the board reviewed a draft 2026–27 school calendar that would move a PD day to Jan. 15 so the high school can host the Kansas State debate tournament; the board also approved the consent agenda, including payment of bills totaling $6,010,277.21, and placed the Wanamaker therapy dog candidate on consent.
The Auburn‑Washburn Board reviewed a draft 2026–27 school calendar and approved routine consent items during its public meeting.
A district presenter said Option B was staff's top choice and highlighted calendar changes needed to host the Kansas State debate tournament: a professional development day normally scheduled in September would be moved to Jan. 15 to make the high school available. Staff also noted adjustments to spring break and snow‑makeup days because Easter falls unusually early in 2027.
On the consent agenda, the board approved business by consent, including payment of bills in the amount of $6,010,277.21; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote 4–0. The Wanamaker Elementary therapy dog candidate, introduced earlier in the meeting, was placed on the consent agenda for approval at this meeting.
The calendar will return to the board as an action item on Dec. 1 for final consideration, and staff said they will bring formal materials for any consent approvals when those items are presented.
