Staff said KVC currently pays rent to the Lebanon school district for an existing facility and that Camdenton sends about eight students each day to that location; the district is exploring whether bringing a KVC classroom closer to Camdenton could reduce travel time and keep students in-district. District staff characterized any arrangement as a rental, likely year-to-year, and said rent revenue would be modest but that transportation and programmatic savings could be the primary benefit.

Administrators and board members stressed the plan is preliminary. Staff said KVC would conduct a facilities review; any rental or MOU would be presented to the board for approval. Board members focused questions on student safety, building access, scheduling and potential disruptions to Hurricane Deck students. A district staff member said KVC's classroom day currently runs roughly 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., which would reduce overlap with the elementary schedule, and that the provider would likely use the upstairs wing; staff proposed staggered arrival and dismissal times and grab-and-go lunches to minimize contact with regular education students.

Security concerns were raised multiple times. One staff member said the district's school resource officer would be the responding officer for any incidents, and administrators noted possible increases in emergency calls; a special-education administrator reported that KVC had requested a facilities visit and that KVC's clinical model requires a low student-to-staff ratio.

Julie (district staff) told the board that KVC had been called for ambulance transport three times so far this school year at the Lebanon site, a frequency the board said it needs to understand and factor into any decision. Board members said if the district cannot devise a layout and schedule that sufficiently sequesters that program from Hurricane Deck students and assures safety, the district will not recommend the arrangement; staff said they will continue fact-finding with KVC and other providers and return to the board with more information.

No agreement or lease was approved at the meeting; staff described the discussion as fact-finding and said any rental or MOU would be presented to the board for formal approval.","District staff and board members discussed preliminary talks with KVC Health Systems (formerly Great Circle) about renting unused space at Hurricane Deck Elementary to provide services for students with profound needs; the board raised security, scheduling and transportation questions and requested further facility review.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6275516,"Booster club, school board discuss MOU, fundraising practices and transparency",2185,559000,2744000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2771880-828f2d63ac90eded89628dfe5acfec30&start=559&end=2744","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2771880-828f2d63ac90eded89628dfe5acfec30/thumbnail_559000.jpg","/articles/6275516/Missouri/Booster-club-school-board-discuss-MOU-fundraising-practices-and-transparency","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6275516-d8ba4de10d202ec97aa68e8b9be7495d/orig.mp4?Expires=1773353132&Signature=B4L~RfN7dkBJRjE5Z9gPcJaFWwOvHRjkaB1sBaUwBjDlCu097zbSLFA5huPTbRpRFOF9k8XpjlNbm0pug2LHK2xYZFMQ2OjfTemSAtbm2i82yGgSy0RqaxziT8znVvi5ijrFK3jJTSZSk-B8D8101e6kC1~B-7YTh7H0Shq5l8ylQTZcSw5-m2VRx-4vzT~YhyLSyzw5w4a9XLabb53DkJ7cev-qCXH4emYHFb~3qwdTk5~i-VVV1nFrLbjOk~P4LzX4gzPPX0m6nrcIfUg7hXWa78qVdVlplNSMvNX~AdrOm8HiKWhZHrBCMIi6ddTNefq7dqHfnrjnt2u2O1mz-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Representatives of the Laker Athletic Booster Club met with the Camdenton R-III Board of Education during a special session to explain how the club operates, respond to community questions about a recently drafted memorandum of understanding and describe fundraising results.

Board members said rumors and questions had circulated after the district approved an MOU in December and asked the booster club to explain its financial practices. Booster Club representatives described changes since the district shifted away from an outside vendor that previously kept a large share of card-program revenue. They said that, under the new local arrangement, the club retains a portion of certain fundraising proceeds to cover program costs and to build capacity to support larger capital requests (for example turf, scoreboards and uniforms) when schools request that help.

Booster Club members described recent results: they said the amount collected and passed through to the high school had grown—citing roughly $52,700 the district had previously passed to the club and about $63,000 given back to schools in January (figures described by participants as approximate). Club representatives said the group aims to return most funds to students and schools and showed examples of projects the club supported, including a video scoreboard and a large uniform purchase the club described as a one-time refresh for varsity programs.

Club leaders said they are considering hiring a part-time paid coordinator to sustain and grow fundraising programs; the club told the board it had discussed paying a percentage of revenue to a coordinator and had provisionally settled on 15 percent of revenue generated by that person, but said no contract had been signed. Board members expressed concern about the idea's appearance in the community and sought clarity; booster representatives said the arrangement would be community-based, that they had not executed any agreement and that the club has donated money and time to the district as well.

Both groups emphasized the need for clearer, regular communication. Booster Club members urged more liaison opportunities between coaches, administrators and the club; board members suggested an annual meeting or joint lunch to improve transparency and recommended posting an annual report or list of projects funded so community members can see where fundraising dollars were used. Board members also suggested linking booster information more visibly from the district website and encouraging the club to publish accomplishments on its social channels.

Participants agreed to continue conversations, invite district representatives to booster meetings and work on clearer public reporting of how sponsorship and card-program proceeds are used. No policy change or formal contract was finalized at the meeting.","Board members and Laker Athletic Booster Club representatives met to clarify a recently drafted MOU, fundraising splits and plans to hire a coordinator; participants emphasized transparency and agreed to improve communication with schools and the community.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6275521,"Camdenton R-III board approves bills, February treasurer's report and budget amendments",288,267000,555000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2771880-828f2d63ac90eded89628dfe5acfec30&start=267&end=555","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2771880-828f2d63ac90eded89628dfe5acfec30/thumbnail_267000.jpg","/articles/6275521/Missouri/Camdenton-R-III-board-approves-bills-February-treasurers-report-and-budget-amendments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6275521-0435a4e19549fb7b51764d378e420aa2/orig.mp4?Expires=1773353132&Signature=TZZCypJ9ztVIWo76NAnrAyW4w81bD7e1Rxmn6kkMCKuSwUsLHW6x4bvQo7m2ZS~KMUtYgHeEca48FZ3NsLDgKkPWVqNTDoXGSBh8Ccmp7ouZVIykoDhFNg8NCWWJR9xPSGz2DOj4CrGLjVlzcQc8UhGgW0IprI6rOaRFLLLHXTQRandnRXeDv8eL3kWT-9fRzsf4z1UL743wuC~60apNXAgWDk0GOlSFo2COa-yHfAU4wuN1tI-aLuPCYWYCTEo-FahZv6cLiA3JTZKuX0D5059hMI--4R9TmZKvByjOf-Wr9bsDF6ucTNt8UNAIdQSYQXvKd0BxehLeuYfBvICaaA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Camdenton R-III Board of Education approved a package of routine financial items during a special session in the administration office boardroom on March 2025.

A motion to approve all bills as submitted was made and seconded; the board indicated assent and the motion carried. The board then heard a treasurer's summary for February 2025 and voted to accept the report. Members also approved proposed budget amendments described by staff as transfers between accounts and budget-neutral overall.

The treasurer reported that, through February, district reserves were up about $4,700,000. Local receipts were running higher than last year, while state receipts were slightly down and federal receipts were down more substantially. The district recorded roughly $8,000 less in receipts in February than the same month last year and higher monthly expenditures driven by a larger debt payment: the debt payment this year was about $737,000 higher than last year, which accounted for the bulk of a $476,000 higher expenditure figure for the month. Year-to-date operating expenditures, excluding the extra debt payment, were described as lower than last year.

District staff said federal program reimbursements have been delayed by increased federal scrutiny and a recent personnel turnover at the state education office, leaving about $1 million in reimbursable federal requests that the district expects to submit. The treasurer characterized the net federal-program decrease to date at about $1,600,000 but noted roughly $1,000,000 may still be requested and recovered.

Board members asked that expected federal receipts, when submitted, be included in future reporting so they can be reflected in budget projections. The budget amendments presented to the board were described by staff as transfers that do not materially change the district's overall budget posture; a motion to approve them was moved, seconded and carried.

No formal roll-call vote counts were recorded in the public transcript for these motions; each motion was called for, members responded \"Aye,\" and the chair declared the motions carried.

Board business moved on after the financial votes to other agenda items.","The Camdenton R-III board voted to approve all submitted bills, accepted the February 2025 treasurer's report and adopted budget transfers described as budget-neutral during a special session on March 2025.","actionData","errors"]
