School Board Study Session
The study session focused on three ballot questions related to school levies and state funding.

The Board also discussed the third ballot question regarding a state trust fund release, emphasizing that the measure would provide additional funding without increasing local taxes, and debated the complexities and limitations of the current state school funding formula.
