District holds public hearing on proposed 2026–27 budget; sets substitute and activity rates
Summary
Administrators presented the draft 2026–27 hearing budget (modest changes; ~2.5 staff added) and the board set operational rates including substitute pay ($130/$145), admission prices and driver‑education fees; formal budget adoption occurs in September.
Scott opened the public hearing on the proposed 2026–27 budget and said the draft is largely a hearing budget based on current‑year figures. "There isn't a whole lot of changes — we've added approximately 2.5 staff members," he told the board, and said capital outlay figures reflect previously approved projects.
The board also reviewed and confirmed operational rates: substitute pay remains $130 per day for non‑certified substitutes and $145 per day for certified substitutes; admission prices were discussed ($4 per student; $6 for adults) and season‑pass options considered. Driver's education fees were reported at $275 for in‑district students and $350 for out‑of‑district students, and preschool monthly rates were listed (e.g., $100 M/W/F; $75 T/Th). Scott said the district receives most general‑fund revenue from state sources and that the formal budget adoption is scheduled for September.
