Preschool teachers provided an update on the district’s preschool program during the hearing.

The district’s mission — “Empowering all students with knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for responsible, productive, and fulfilling lives” — was included in meeting materials.
The board recorded that no written public comments were received; the minutes note that oral comments were heard but do not include text or speaker attribution for those remarks in the posted transcript. The hearing record does not show a formal vote adopting the FY27 budget at this meeting.
