Summary

The board approved the 2026–27 student fee schedule, keeping most fees unchanged while increasing Pre-K tuition from $5,000 to $5,250 to align with neighboring districts.

Jay Kahn presented the recommended 2026–27 student fee schedule and told trustees that all student fees would remain at current levels except for Pre-K tuition, which the administration recommended increasing from $5,000 to $5,250 to better align with neighboring districts while remaining below typical daycare costs.

The board approved the student fee schedule by a 6–0 roll call (one absence). The motion was made by Tim Penich and seconded by Lauren Hirsh. The administration noted that Pre-K programs are costly to operate and that the recommended fee remains significantly lower than typical area daycare prices.
