Summary
At a brief Sept. 8 meeting, the Wheeler Central Board of Education voted unanimously to adopt the 2025–26 budget and approve the district's final tax request; the transcript records motions and roll-call votes but does not specify budget totals or the tax rate.
The Wheeler Central Board of Education voted unanimously Sept. 8 to adopt the district's 2025–26 budget and to approve its final tax request.
Chairman Jessica Swick called the meeting to order at 9:53 p.m. and "pointed out the location of the Open Meetings Act poster," according to the meeting record. Board member Drew Kasselder moved to adopt the 2025–2026 budget as presented; Sydney McKay seconded. A roll-call vote recorded Derner, McKay, Wright, Smith, Kasselder and Swick voting "aye," carrying the motion.
The board then moved on to the district's final tax request. Kasselder again moved to approve the final tax request and McKay seconded; the same six members voted "aye," and the motion carried. The transcript records the motions, seconders and unanimous vote tallies but does not include the budget total, mill rate or line-item details presented to the board.
Also present at the meeting were board members Dennis Derner, Andrew Smith and Zach Wright and attendees Dan Kluver, Makayla Reiter and Andrea Pelster. The meeting record shows there was no recorded public comment or extended discussion on either the budget or the tax request. Kasselder moved to adjourn at the close of business; Zach Wright seconded, and the meeting adjourned at 10:04 p.m.
The Open Meetings Act was noted on the record at the start of the session. The meeting minutes do not state next steps for budget publication or filing of the tax request; those procedural steps typically follow local filing requirements but are not specified in the transcript.
