Discussion:
Paid family leave started January 1, 2026.
There was a third meeting for a four-day week, going through the process of working on the application. Late Labor Day start next year so the state is allowing schools to start before Labor Day for the next two years. We need three community meetings prior to the four-day week application submission, we are working on setting those up at different locations. Will start working on the budget, we will be working with Ehlers and will share that information at the February board meeting. There will be community meetings, and we will see what the calendar will look like and what the schedules will look like, and we will do a survey prior to the meetings to see input. Will set a schedule to have department heads come and report to the board at the monthly board meetings.
