The USD 445 Board of Education votes to exceed the revenue neutral rate and approves the 2026-2027 school year.

The Board held their hearings for the RNR and budget during this month's meeting, with no one from the public speaking during either hearing. The mill levy was raised by 1.8 mills.

In other business, the board heard facility updates including the completion of the Community Elementary School roof project. The board also got a timeline on the Natatorium project, which is scheduled to be complete by late April 2027 and will be ready for the 2027-2028 swim season.
