How Solomon schools are funded and governed

Locally governed Kansas district

Solomon USD 393 is governed by an elected Board of Education. The board adopts an annual budget, sets the local property-tax levy through Kansas's revenue-neutral-rate process, and approves district policies, curriculum, staffing, and facilities work.

Annual budget and levy

The board adopted its 2025-26 budget and a resolution allowing the property-tax levy to exceed the revenue-neutral rate on September 8, 2025.

Public decisions

BoardBook provides agendas and minutes for 15 distinct hearings, regular meetings, and a work session from September 2025 through August 2026.

Spending data gap

The collected records identify selected purchases and cash balances, but they do not provide a complete per-student spending figure or a full adopted-budget table.

Current priorities

Recent board work includes elementary reading materials, student meal access, grading rules, new secondary courses, and athletic-facility improvements.

The public minutes document board actions, but they do not include every attachment or the full financial schedules needed to reconstruct total district spending.
