Board approves teacher contract and capital budgets; all motions pass unanimously
Summary
The St. Francis Area Schools board unanimously approved the 2025–27 teacher work agreement and the 2026–27 operating capital and LTFM budgets, which include purchase of four buses, lift replacement and deferred‑maintenance projects; votes were 6–0 where tallies were announced.
The St. Francis Area Schools board on May 11 approved several formal actions by unanimous voice vote.
Teacher work agreement: The board approved the 2025–27 teacher work agreement after Member Anderson moved and Mister Schoenrock seconded the motion; the chair announced the motion prevailed 6 to 0. The board took no additional discussion before the vote.
Capital and LTFM budgets (FY 2026–27): District presenter Don reviewed the proposed operating capital and long‑term facilities maintenance projects, citing needs to repair the track and tennis courts, to replace a leaking vehicle lift deemed a safety risk, and to set aside contingency funds. Don said the district is also looking to purchase four buses, using an assigned transportation fund balance, and identified deferred maintenance needs including repair of two elevators, a door replacement at Saint Francis Elementary, sidewalk repairs at elementary schools and collapsed dry wells under the stadium. Don said staff are collecting quotes and did not present dollar amounts in the overview. Member Anderson moved to approve the capital‑related budgets for 2026–27, a second was recorded, and the chair announced the motion prevailed 6 to 0.
Other procedural votes: The board adopted the meeting agenda and approved a seven‑item consent agenda earlier in the session; both were announced by the chair as passing 6 to 0. The meeting was adjourned by unanimous vote.
