The Regional School District 19 Board of Education on July 7, 2026 approved June 10, 2027 as the graduation date for the Class of 2027, to be held at the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts, and approved a personnel change in the agricultural education administrative assistant position.
The board’s chair read the motion setting the graduation date and venue and the board approved the item by voice vote. The chair noted procedural questions about snow days and reminded members that the district must meet a legal requirement of 180 school days.

Board members said salary and benefits remain consistent under the modification; the position recognizes holidays and sick days but does not include vacation time.
