Box Elder Board Approves $3.09M Capital Plan, 2026–27 School Fees; Moves on Discovery TSSA, Policies and Property Sales

The Box Elder School District Board of Education on Feb. 11 approved a slate of budget and administrative items, including a $3,092,220 capital-improvements budget for fiscal 2027, the district’s 2026–27 school-fee schedule, and amendments and policy readings intended to move projects and compliance forward.

Capital improvements: After a line-by-line presentation by Corey Thompson of the facilities advisory committee, the board voted to approve the FY2027 capital-improvement list totaling $3,092,220. The list includes asphalt seal-coat work, parking and concrete infill at several elementary and intermediate schools, natatorium gutter and stone repairs, and a series of lower-priority maintenance items. Thompson and other staff said larger projects such as air conditioning and playground replacements were intentionally separated into a different budget line; staff said adding those items back in would raise the multi-year program closer to prior years’ totals.
