On March 23, 2026, the Kenowa Hills Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to approve the district's 2026–27 student handbooks, adopt an amendment to the FY2026 budget and authorize a $209,100 purchase of Chromebooks and iPads.
The actions came during the board's regular meeting at Central Elementary School.
