Kenyon‑Wanamingo board approves a package of staff and program reductions to close FY26 shortfall
Summary
The Kenyon‑Wanamingo School Board approved multiple FTE reductions and program cuts on March 24, 2025—including reductions to administrative, support and instructional positions and a cut to the fall high‑school play—to reduce projected FY26 expenditures.
The Kenyon‑Wanamingo School Board voted March 24 to approve a broad set of personnel and program reductions intended to reduce projected FY26 expenditures. Approved cuts include administrative and support positions such as a .5 FTE Elementary Principal ($70,152), 1.0 FTE Dean of Students ($68,006), and a 1.0 FTE Secretary ($49,000), as well as instructional and program reductions across the district.
The board recorded multiple individual motions across the FY26 realignment proposal. Some motions passed unanimously; others drew split votes or abstentions. The motion approving the package of reductions was recorded in a series of roll‑call actions (see provenance).
