What happened
The committee approved a 2026-27 preschool tuition rate equal to the 2024 rate plus 5%, after a 20% increase for 2025 was followed by enrollment falling from 195 to 125 students.
Why it matters to families
The rate directly affects preschool families and the program's ability to remain self-supporting. The district projected a $54,000 full-year revenue decline at the lower enrollment.
