Superintendent outlines Oakcrest acquisition, growth and budget timeline for 2026-27
Summary
Superintendent Chris Brewster told the board about a potential acquisition of Oakcrest as a permanent location for El Camino starting 2026-27, growth goals to add grades and enroll 300'500 new students, and a tentative budget-approval target of February 2026 with planned expenditure reductions.
Superintendent Chris Brewster briefed the board on several strategic items in the superintendent's report, including a proposed acquisition and growth plan aimed at expanding the district's footprint and enrollment.
Brewster said Oakcrest is a proposed permanent location for El Camino beginning in the 2026-27 school year; he also referenced a KLS proposal (no further detail in the minutes). The district intends to fill existing seats and grow Trinity and El Camino vertically each year until they reach PK-5, with a target of adding a total of 300 to 500 new students to Santa Fe South. Brewster said the budget approval is tentatively scheduled for the February 2026 board meeting and that the district expects to reduce proportionate payroll and non-payroll expenditures.
The minutes list these items as plans and goals; no purchase agreement or final budget adoption was recorded during the Nov. 17 meeting.
