District overview

Dayton Independent Schools

What Dayton's approved board minutes show from September 2025 through August 2026.

What do the records show?

Dayton adopted a new budget, completed annual policy updates, set its property-tax rates, and closed out construction work during the reviewed year.

The board governs district budgets, local taxes, staffing, policy, facilities, and major partnerships.

2026-27 budget

The board moved from a draft budget in January to a tentative budget in May.

Policies and handbooks

The board gave policy and procedure updates a first reading in June and adopted them with both school handbooks in July.

Local tax support

In August, the board set rates of 91.5 cents per $100 on real property and 112.8 cents per $100 on tangible property.

The minutes identify many approved items but rarely provide the underlying contracts, policy text, or dollar amounts, limiting assessment of their financial effect.
