Board approves maintenance manager position and 2026–27 school calendar
Summary
The Hartland-Lakeside J3 School District board approved creating a full-time maintenance manager position (to report to the director of building and grounds, estimated salary $70k–$75k) and adopted the 2026–27 school calendar, including four half days; both approvals were passed by voice vote.
The Hartland-Lakeside J3 School District board voted to create a full-time maintenance manager position and approved the 2026–27 school calendar during its regular meeting.
Board members discussed the maintenance-manager role as a way to split hands-on maintenance and contractor oversight from director-level responsibilities. Staff said the position would report to the director of building and grounds, be district-employed, be cross-trained to support buildings and grounds, and carry an estimated market salary in the $70,000–$75,000 range. The board motioned and approved creating the position; staff said the timeline is to post the role and target a July 1 start as part of next year’s fiscal budget planning.
The board also reviewed and approved the proposed calendar for the '26–'27 school year. Trustees discussed four half days (two conference days, a homecoming-related half day and the final day of school), bussing impacts for tiered routes, and the need to coordinate start/stop times because the district shares buses with neighboring schools. The calendar was approved as presented.
