Starmont board approves consolidation of kindergarten, third-grade sections for 2026–27
Summary
The board voted 4-1 to move to one kindergarten section and two third-grade sections for the 2026–27 school year, with additional supports for kindergarten; Board Member Julie Uhlenkamp cast the lone opposing vote.
The Starmont Community School District Board approved a recommendation on June 8 to consolidate class sections for the 2026–27 school year, adopting one kindergarten section and two sections of third grade. The measure passed 4-1; Julie Uhlenkamp recorded the sole vote against the consolidation.
Tony Recker moved to approve the recommendation, and Jacob Moellers seconded. Board minutes state the consolidation will be accompanied by additional supports for the kindergarten classroom; the transcript does not specify the nature or funding of those supports.
Board members framed the action as an enrollment- and scheduling-driven staffing decision for the coming year. The vote changes how students will be assigned to classrooms for 2026–27 and may affect class sizes and resource allocation; the minutes do not include projected enrollment numbers or specific staffing changes tied to the consolidation.
