Board approves IMESD local service plan for 2026–27
Summary
The board approved the IMESD local service-plan resolution for 2026–27, endorsing continued access to ESD-provided services funded through the ESD allocation of state school funds.
The board approved a resolution adopting the IMESD local service plan for 2026–27, formalizing the district's continued access to services provided through the educational service district.
Staff explained the ESD funding structure and said IMESD services are supported by approximately 4.5% of the state school fund that the ESD administers; those services help the district access joint contracts and positions without paying full contract costs. As one staff member put it: "that is, the things that we have access to that are 4.5 percent of the state school fund that the ESD gets." The motion to approve the IMESD resolution was moved, seconded and passed on a voice vote.
Board members acknowledged the complexity of braided services and thanked the ESD staff for coordinating shared offerings that keep local costs down.
