Member Brownell emphasized the significant investment in education, noting the district's commitment to supporting its 800 employees and the educational needs of children in District 7.

The board also approved a resolution for the appropriation of funds for bus replacement and capital projects, ensuring continued transportation support for students. Additionally, a resolution was passed to declare the Stringer Gap properties as surplus, paving the way for potential collaboration with the RCC Foundation to enhance educational opportunities for college students.
