Byron Center board adopts 2026–27 budget after Truth and Taxation hearing
Summary
At its June 22 meeting, the Byron Center Public Schools Board adopted the 2026–2027 original budget following a Truth and Taxation hearing and no public comments; the roll-call vote was unanimous among members present.
President Brenda Hondorp called the meeting to order and opened the Truth and Taxation and 2026–2027 budget hearing on June 22, 2026. The board then adopted the district’s 2026–2027 original budget by roll-call vote.
The board approved the 2026–2027 original budget in a motion moved by Rob Hughes and supported by Tim Oberst; the minutes record the ayes as Brenda Hondorp, Rob Hughes, Tom McCoy, Tim Oberst, Amber Swift, and Brad Wiechertjes and state that "the motion passed." There was a public comment period for the budget hearing but public participation was recorded as none.
CFO Meghan Hathaway and Superintendent Kevin Macina were listed as present on the agenda and the hearing provided the formal, statutory opportunity for taxpayers to comment on the proposed levy and spending plan. The minutes do not include line-item budget figures or levy amounts; those specifics were not recorded in the public minutes.
The board adjourned the meeting at 7:18 p.m. following completion of the agenda. Documents referenced on the agenda (proposed budget, budget amendment and final amendment) were approved by roll call as indicated in the minutes; where the minutes omit numeric line-item data, that information is "not specified" in the public record provided.
