The board took a series of formal votes on routine and new‑business items during the meeting.
Consent and agenda Trustees approved the meeting agenda (motion carried 4–0) and later approved the consent agenda — including the treasurer’s report for April 2026, the April 27 meeting minutes, personnel items, destruction of certain closed‑session audio recordings, policy second reading and 2026–27 food service fees — by roll call (motion carried 5–0).
Student representative The board voted to welcome Alina Alfrey as the student representative for 2026–27 (motion carried 5–0).
Surplus property Trustees approved a resolution authorizing disposal (demolition) of three mobile classroom units to clear the site for a new maintenance facility; administration said the units were purchased circa 1990, fully depreciated and that removal costs are included in the construction site work. The resolution passed 5–0.
Health insurance renewal The board approved the health and dental insurance recommendation from the health insurance committee — an increase up to 9.4% for the 2026–27 plan year — with administration saying use of a portion of the KBTF fund balance would reduce the premium impact for employees; the motion carried 5–0.
Curriculum tools The board adopted recommended curricular tools (textbooks and elementary exploratory materials) totaling approximately $129,725 for the items presented; the motion passed 4–1 (one abstention was recorded earlier in the roll call and one member voted 'no' on the final motion as recorded in the transcript).
Other procedural items The board also approved the destruction of certain closed-session audio recordings as part of the consent items and voted to enter closed session at the end of the meeting.
