Wadena‑Deer Creek board adopts 2026–27 budget; administrator talks tabled
Summary
The Wadena‑Deer Creek School Board unanimously approved the district’s 2026–2027 budget and tabled discussion of the administrators’ collective bargaining agreement until June; the minutes do not list the budget total.
The Wadena‑Deer Creek School Board voted unanimously on May 18 to adopt the district’s 2026–2027 budget as presented. The motion was made by Board Member Brandon Kern and seconded by Amanda Schmidt. The minutes record the action as “approved unanimously” but do not specify the dollar total of the adopted budget.
The approval came as part of routine business during the regular and organizational meeting called to order at 5:30 p.m. by Board Chair Dan Lawson at the Deer Creek Community Center. The board also handled personnel items, contract approvals and routine disbursements during the session.
Board members and district leaders did not record detailed budget line items or funding sources in the minutes. Because the minutes do not state the budget amount or funding breakdown, those figures are not included here.
Next steps: the board scheduled continued business, including the Administrator collective bargaining agreement, for the June meeting on June 15, 2026. The minutes give no timeline or conditions for additional budget hearings or amendments.
