Freeman board discusses facility planning, Hausmann recap and community meeting schedule

At the July 13 Freeman Public Schools Board of Education meeting trustees discussed next steps for district facility planning but did not take formal action on any construction or financing measures.

The board ran through a Hausmann meeting recap and identified follow-up items including development of a tax calculator, building an FAQ repository for the public, scheduling a project kick-off meeting and arranging community meetings in Adams and Filley. The items were presented as discussion topics for future work rather than items that required immediate board votes.

No timeline or financing plan was adopted during the meeting; the transcript records the list of follow-up tasks but does not record specific deadlines or a formal motion to advance contracts or bond measures. Board members and staff agreed these items would be part of the project outreach and planning process.

Administrative reports later in the meeting provided related operational context: Dr. Havelka reported on 2026–27 enrollment, an activity fair planned for Aug. 11, bus route and staffing updates, softball facility usage and community library historical documents; Mr. Wallinger reported on 2026–27 schedules. Those reports supply background information staff may use for facility planning and public outreach.

The board scheduled its next regular meeting for Aug. 10, 2026, and adjourned at 8:47 p.m.
