001Here's a recap from the Timberlane School Board meeting from October 16th, 2025. Members of the community contributed to the delegates and individuals portion of the meeting. Their comments can be found in the full video of the meeting. The tax cap subcommittee of the school board presented an executive summary based on their work investigating the feasibility and impact if Timberlain were to adopt a tax cap. Their full report can be found on the homepage of the district website. The concluding statement from that report reads, "The committee was in agreement that under the current legislative requirements, implementation of a 2.5% tax cap would increase risk and uncertainty during the budget development process, and the district could not maintain staffing, program, and service levels. At the request of the school board, district administration presented a slideshow to detail
002the current kindergarten model and the fiscal impact of moving to a full day tuitionfree model. The school board requested that district administration continue to investigate the fiscal impact as well as report back on the research-based benefits of full day kindergarten programming at a future meeting.
