The board held a public hearing on the proposed bonds before voting 7-0 to approve them. The project will address roofing and parking lot improvements at several school buildings over the next four years. District officials estimated the tax impact on a $400,000 residential home at approximately $19, with efforts made to maintain stable net debt for taxpayers. No members of the public commented during the hearing.

Board member Peterson asked clarifying questions about where the interest savings from refinancing existing 2028 bonds would go, and staff confirmed those savings would return to the district's operating capital funds rather than directly reducing individual tax bills. The board also discussed the bond structure, which includes a planned increase in 2034 designed to keep overall net debt stable for taxpayers.

In other business, the board unanimously approved three employee contracts that were negotiated quickly and efficiently. Health assistants, custodial staff, and food and nutrition services workers all received wage increases and expanded district contributions to health insurance. Board members praised the collaborative negotiation process, which took only three meetings for each group. The board also approved a procedural correction to the superintendent's contract, which had been approved incorrectly in June, and unanimously adopted the 2026-27 school handbooks with updates to policies on digital devices, classroom treats, and recording devices at the high school. The board moved its December meeting from December 14 to December 7 to ensure all members could attend important budget and tax discussions.
