The North Harrison School Board, at its regular board meeting May 20th, 2026, learned that the Early Childhood Center was continuing to increasingly operate at a deficit. The board took no action at the meeting.
The board discussed the 2026-27 budget and how funding from the state will impact the budget. For the current school year, schools are being underfunded by an estimated $138 million in the formula. Compounding this underfunding, the 2026 session saw recommendations from the Governor, House, and Senate that proposed to underfund $190 million in the Foundation Formula and an additional $15 million shortfall in transportation funding. This is before discussions of decreases in lottery and gaming revenues. As it stands, the cumulative underfunding across FY 26 and FY 27 is now estimated at $362.7 million for Missouri schools.
The board approved the 2026-27 Salary Schedule. The board will maintain the same salary schedule as the previous year. The board increased the district health insurance to $650 per month per employee, up from $550 per month. The board approved a $200 increase to the Extra Duty Schedule. The board approved renewing the speech contract with Compass Therapy Solutions.
