Clinton School Board approves 2025–26 budget, adopts emergency albuterol use and tribal-consultation policies
Summary
At its meeting, the Clinton School District board approved the 2025–26 general fund expenditure budget, adopted a policy to allow emergency use of an albuterol inhaler with required training, and revised policy language to require consultation with nearby tribes. The board also acknowledged several student attendance agreements.
The Clinton School District board approved the 2025–26 general fund expenditure budget and adopted two policy revisions at a regularly scheduled meeting.
Board members voted to adopt the general fund expenditure budget for the 2025–26 school year after the business manager presented auditors’ line-item breakdowns and invited questions. The motion to approve the budget was made by a board member and passed by voice vote.
The board also approved a revised health policy to allow schools to obtain and use an albuterol inhaler in emergency respiratory-distress situations. Sarah O'Neil, co-director of the district after-school program and a 4th-grade teacher, said the change "is a life saving measure" and noted that required annual training and good‑Samaritan protections will accompany use of the inhaler. Board members clarified the revision adds albuterol specifically and is not intended to authorize other emergency medications such as opioid antagonists.
In a separate motion, the board revised policy 2415 to change language from "work cooperatively" to "work in consultation" with area tribes. The motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote; board members said the change formalizes required outreach to nearby tribal governments.
The board also acknowledged student attendance agreements for students leaving the Clinton district to enroll in other districts; that acknowledgement passed on a motion and voice vote.
The meeting record indicates motions were moved and seconded and passed by voice votes; no roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript. The board said members should review any line items they question in the auditors' budget breakdown and that additional details will be provided if an item appears out of line.
Next steps: the district will update its website to reflect any enrollment limits tied to class-size thresholds noted during the meeting and will distribute parent information regarding the emergency-albuterol protocol and required training if the policy is implemented.
