February 11, 2026 at 7:00 PM - Board of Education Meeting

A consent agenda consists of items that are, by general agreement, acceptable to all Board Members without discussion and can be approved by a single vote.  The Consent Agenda shall include items of a routine nature on which the Board of Education has received sufficient background information to take action on the items presented for approval.  Typically, the following routine items are included as part of a Consent Agenda: 1) minutes; 2) bills for payment; 3) periodic reports; 4) personnel; and 5) resolutions that are adopted annually.

Each year the Board of Education approves the pay bus fee for the coming year. This is the amount a family will pay to have their child transported if it is determined that the student is non-eligible for free transportation. The proposed pay bus fee for the 2026/27 school year is $525. This is flat compared to the 2025/26 school year. 

For FY27 we should do a comprehensive review of all of our fees and come up with a rate structure that eventually should be adjusted on an annual basis reflecting the inflationary cost for that particular service.
