NOTN- The Juneau School District Board of Education will hold a special meeting today, at noon via Zoom to consider a series of action items, from playground improvements to budget changes and contract approvals.
One of the key items up for a final vote is the acceptance of playground equipment donated by Juneau Rotary Clubs for the Dzantik’i Heeni campus. Rotary has secured $30,000 in funding to provide musical play elements for students at Montessori Borealis and the Juneau Community Charter School.
Volunteers have committed to installing the equipment this fall.
Also on the agenda is a first reading of a budget revision that would add universal free breakfast for all JSD students. The revision comes after an increase in state education funding, after the Base Student Allocation was restored to $700 per student.
The adjustment would provide an additional $1.5 million in revenue, allowing the district to potentially expand student meal programs.
The public can view the meeting online, and final adoption of the FY 2026 Budget Revision is expected at a subsequent board meeting.
