Superintendent Brian Rentsch updated the board on consolidation planning, budget considerations and ESSER levy funds, reviewed several pending state education bills, and asked whether to proceed with architectural design for a potential high‑school addition; the board agreed to continue the design process.

Superintendent Brian Rentsch presented a consolidation briefing that referenced district budget pressures, recent property‑tax reform, use of proceeds from the 2020 levy and ESSER funds. Rentsch also listed state education legislation still under consideration, including HB 455 (deregulation), HB 625 (student athlete mobility), HB 661 (NIL issues), and several Senate bills addressing computer science, intervention plans and workforce initiatives.
