What happened
On June 17, 2026 the board approved the 2026-27 district budget as presented and hired Lauer, Szabo & Associates to audit the 2025-26 books. On May 19 it raised bus route driver pay to $55 per route and mileage pay to $0.90 a mile for drivers over 90 miles a day. It also approved a 2026 Suburban for $66,958.20 on May 19, and on January 20 it approved a revised 2025-26 budget and an updated classified salary schedule.
Why it matters to families
The budget sets spending for teachers, buses, buildings and programs for the year. Bus pay matters on a large, rural route system where drivers are hard to find. The budget total is not stated in the minutes.
