Key discussions included updates on the FY27 budget, the status of the high school principal and superintendent searches, and a review of the current special education model in preparation for an upcoming Department of Education audit. The committee reviewed financial reports, received an update on boiler project bids and timelines, acknowledged a staff medical leave of absence, and approved a school facility use request for the MV Running Company.
