Seaman board approves corrected pre‑K community tuition and broader school‑fee schedule
Summary
The board approved recommended school‑fee changes including a corrected full‑day pre‑K community tuition rate (clarified to $22.50); trustees voted to adopt the corrected fee schedule after discussion of subsidy and access for at‑risk students.
Board members approved proposed updates to the district’s school‑fee schedule at the Feb. 2026 meeting after staff corrected a typographical error in the packet.
Marty and district staff explained recommended changes affecting pre‑K community tuition and noted the district historically offered low or no cost options for certain community children. During discussion board members clarified that students who qualify under free or reduced‑price eligibility and children identified as at‑risk would continue to receive free services where previously provided.
Board members identified a typo in the packet that showed an incorrect full‑day rate for community pre‑K. The corrected amount — clarified during discussion — is $22.50 for full‑day community pre‑K tuition; the board amended the motion accordingly and approved the fees by voice vote.
Trustees discussed program capacity and noted that adjusting modest fees was intended to reduce waiting lists for families that most need services. The board approved the motion as amended; the chair announced, "Motion carries."
