The USD 308 Board of Education moved forward with several key items during its regular meeting Monday evening at the district administration center.
The board passed a resolution for the 2025–2026 Local Option Budget, totaling $12,439,435.
In addition, board members approved a Memorandum of Understanding with Trinity United Methodist Church, setting terms for the district to provide bulk lunch services to Trinity’s Treasures Preschool and Childcare Center. Under the agreement, the district will supply about 20 meals per day when school is in session, at a cost of $5 per meal.
In other action, members approved the sale of two homes located at 2800 and 2804 Morris Road, both built by students through the Career and Technical Education Academy’s building trades program.
Additionally, the board approved $24,137 in wiring and software upgrades for 11 rooftop HVAC units at Hutchinson High School. The upgrade will bring the units onto the same system as the rest of the campus, eliminating the need to manage two separate systems.
The next meeting of the USD 308 Board of Education is scheduled for Sept. 22.
