District presenters said the general fund revenue projection increased by about $1.7 million after incorporating year-to-date actuals and updated estimates from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and local tax collections. The district reported an assessed valuation of approximately $372 million, lower than the preliminary estimate of $380 million, and noted that adjustments to the debt service levy and interest earnings affected fund balances.

The presentation detailed several changes: reallocation of teacher funds (75% to fund 20 and 25% to fund 10), recognition of interest earnings and an escrow transaction tied to a property purchased in 2004, and a projected end-of-year general fund balance targeted at about 43.4% of expenditures. The capital fund showed an increase in available resources; staff proposed a planned transfer from the classroom trust fund of $850,000 plus an additional year-end transfer of approximately $1.8 million to support future capital needs including buses, a band trailer and field projects.

Presenters described capital lease obligations of about $2.5 million (including central office, farm equipment and energy leases) and explained why paying down certain leases immediately may not be advantageous when invested cash returns exceed the lease interest cost.

Board materials included a line-by-line recapitulation of revenues (current and delinquent taxes), expenditures and projected balances. Board members voted to authorize the amendment as presented.

The board approved the amendment and materials to allow staff to proceed with planned capital purchases and to set aside funds for multi-year staffing and facility plans.","The board approved a February FY25 budget amendment reflecting updated revenues and expenditures, transfers to capital funds, and changes tied to assessed valuation and interest earnings.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6659860,"Hillsboro R-III board approves intermediate playground design after student presentations",643,799000,1442000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2444416-54e7e15a31eb099207a5f01d5f70e065&start=799&end=1442","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2444416-54e7e15a31eb099207a5f01d5f70e065/thumbnail_799000.jpg","/articles/6659860/Missouri/Hillsboro-R-III-board-approves-intermediate-playground-design-after-student-presentations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6659860-ef413ba35fece42ffbe913059b49b602/orig.mp4?Expires=1775065017&Signature=DJCUhbBhnh8BYytf7SPqlUtNJCB9QvR1V3kKkiiKOha3e5wwcZuCQv8fA1ifUrOP7l6c5iRGFtexYe8GET6FWZ0Kt2ZgM25qL-Qt3PA73Ngd-kQxb9c16WrkYblWTWkp~knc7dNt9-mRDf0S7QOXKraBG~d0IayGhRhVddVJL~p7p4hQ9ddYWLjr0Jfaujd1FIINcQXJxvepvRmgFaFC9IM-q1B~QG9H1gr5UCMVk6sUvTRqZq7n9ndtYgwvjLrYD7A2mUVTompdTYHMbNC6tVbyQxCqzzwrIesBzBL1ALfGD7pn1IxWO-MBWkq5nC-MQJIiBtHByIPg1MTPfwYSyg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hillsboro R-III School District Board of Education voted to approve Hutchison Recreation & Design as the vendor for the Hillsborough Intermediate playground project, approving a motion amended to a contract price of $255,919 with funding allocated across the 2024–25 and 2025–26 fiscal years.

Board members discussed prior grant applications and local fundraising before the vote. The board packet noted a $20,000 award from the Jefferson Foundation and additional fundraising conducted by the intermediate school to offset project costs. District staff said the remainder will come from district capital funds spread over two fiscal years.

The vote followed a presentation by teachers and student leaders who helped select playground features and who read persuasive essays in support of the project. Fifth grader Albert Jackson Foreman asked the board to invest in equipment that would help students’ social and physical development, saying in part, “Here at Hillsborough Intermediate, we have almost no equipment to play with at recess. I believe it's time to make a change and improve our playground.” Other students recommended swings, a gaga ball pit and a rock wall, and student council members participated in reviewing vendor renderings.

Board members noted the project had been under development for several years and that staff had worked to identify grants and community fundraising. One board member moved to amend the selection motion to the higher contract amount after updated pricing, and another member seconded that amendment before the board approved the contract as amended.

The district will proceed with phase 1 this fiscal year and complete phase 2 in the following fiscal year. Board materials said the Jefferson Foundation grant was awarded in December and that intermediate-level fundraising also contributed roughly $20,000 toward the work. The superintendent and building staff will coordinate final invoicing and release of payments after project milestones and invoices are received.

The board approved the playground vendor and amended contract without recorded opposition.","The Hillsboro R-III Board of Education approved Hutchison Recreation & Design to build a new intermediate playground, funding the $255,919 contract across two fiscal years after students and staff described the need and the district secured grant and fundraising support.","actionData","errors"]
