The Oskaloosa Community School Board has their first regular meeting of 2026 scheduled for tonight.

The board is set to host a public hearing for an easement agreement with the Oskaloosa Water Department for a water tower. As part of the agreement, the water department would be allowed to use land owned by the Oskaloosa School District just west of Oskaloosa Elementary School to build a new water tower, which would begin construction in 2027 at the earliest.

The board will also consider the approval of Dickinson-Bradshaw as their district legal counsel, and they will discuss, and possibly approve, course changes for Oskaloosa High School for the upcoming school year.

Also on the agenda is a resolution accepting the completion of the Oskaloosa Middle School roof project.

The meeting will begin at 6pm in the George Daily Auditorium.
