Summary

The board received a financial snapshot and approved the consent agenda and recommended 2026-27 calendar by voice vote; the board also reviewed BD-series policies, tabling one policy phrase for committee wording and approving several BD items by voice vote.

At the meeting the board heard a financial overview before taking routine actions.

A finance presenter identified as Jay said investments decreased from about $98 million last year to $77 million, and noted the building fund was lower by roughly $23 million because of ongoing projects. Jay also highlighted a positive reimbursement for food service and summarized administrator/teacher salary totals and benefit costs.

The board approved the consent agenda, which included prior month's minutes and human-resources changes; the motion was made by Mitch and seconded by Suzanne and carried on a voice vote with no opposition recorded.

The recommended 2026-27 district calendar—previously reviewed by staff and the calendar subcommittee—was then adopted after a motion by Nathan and a second from Amy. Committee members reported unanimous support for the presented calendar.

Board members reviewed multiple BD-series policies. They asked for clarification on wording that referenced "May school elections" and directed staff to consult the election committee about correct verbiage; the board voted to table that BD item until next month. Separate motions to adopt BDD, BDE, BDF, BDG, and BDH were made and carried by voice vote; the transcript records movers and seconds for some motions but no roll-call tallies were entered.

No formal budget adoption occurred at the meeting; staff invited trustees to follow up with questions on the financial details and offered to provide more granular enrollment and investment figures on request.
