The North Scott board approved the FY26–27 budget on a roll call, authorized payment of $479,121 in bills, approved a low bid for a kitchen exhaust hood and approved purchase of 26.33 acres for $1,711,450; motions passed by voice unless otherwise noted.
At its regular meeting the North Scott Community School District board approved multiple formal actions, including the FY26–27 budget, payment of district bills, a facilities contract and a land purchase.
Budget: The board opened a public hearing on the fiscal year 26–27 budget and was told the proposed tax rate is $11.36, down from $11.76 last year. Districtwide revenues across all funds were presented at $58.2 million with expenditures budgeted at $61.1 million. After closing the public hearing, a motion to approve the FY26–27 budget passed on a roll call that recorded the affirmative votes of members identified in the transcript as Wood, Eart, Done and Lindam.
Bills: The business office presented $479,121 in bills for payment. The presenter highlighted selected payments: $3,315 to the Scott County auditor's office for March 3 special election fees, $2,941 to Media Quest Signs to repair signage parts, and $8,790 to THY Commercial Concrete for playground concrete repairs. The board moved, seconded and approved payment of the bills by voice vote.
Facilities and purchases: The board approved a low bid from Crawford to install a code-required kitchen exhaust hood and suppression system for the new culinary room; the hood is required to operate new industrial fryers and connects to the fire alarm system. Separately, the board approved purchase of 26.33 acres at $65,000 per acre (total $1,711,450) as part of ongoing Vision 2025 planning; presenters said bond funds and solar rebate monies would be used and that the purchase preserves future options for facilities.
Other business: The board also approved the recommended K–6 ELA curriculum (HMH) in a separate motion after a multi-year review (coverage in a separate article). Members received updates on legislative matters and upcoming principal and business manager interviews.
