On insurance, staff said the district’s broker, Gallagher, has provided renewal figures. Two line items flagged in red — the district’s liability coverage and a mortgage-related compensation item — were not finalized at the time of the presentation. Staff reported that the overall renewal would increase “about 5.7%” compared with the prior period and noted modest increases in cyber liability and workers’ compensation coverages. Staff thanked Mr. Stater and Gallagher for their work on the renewal projections.

On uniforms, staff presented a memo recommending awarding the uniform service contract for maintenance and facilities staff to the vendor listed in the packet (the transcript identifies the vendor name as \"Centos\"). Staff said the district had used the incumbent vendor for five years and that the new bid came in lower; staff noted the need to rebid when a contract term ends.

Staff also presented a standard surplus-equipment memo listing computers and technology devices described as outdated, inoperable or not repairable. The memo described that the district’s disposal contractor handles batteries and other hazardous components (the memo referenced UPS battery disposal). Staff asked the board to declare the listed items surplus so they may be processed by the district’s disposal vendor. No vote on these items is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.

Staff described a planned repair at a drainage point behind the admissions/concourse area where fast runoff is undermining concrete and causing erosion. The recommended work would raise a back wall and fence, add rock fill to slow runoff, and reseed the slope. The presenter said a contractor identified as Southern Grounds submitted the most qualified bid for the first set of repairs; staff stated a contractor estimate of about $40,000 for that scope and described a second phase of work near the tennis courts with a bid the presenter said was $56,250.

Separately, staff told the board the existing scoreboard is no longer serviceable because replacement parts are no longer produced. Staff said they evaluated alternative scoreboard models and proposed a modern digital board that can be reconfigured for multiple sports, integrate multimedia for dedications and sponsorships, and potentially generate revenue. The presentation included a memo from Mr. Fisher and a financing option from Government Capital Finance Corporation; staff noted the new scoreboard’s estimated lifespan at roughly 15–20 years and said payment and refinancing options are included in the packet.

During the discussion staff described technical details of the repair work and the chosen scoreboard’s adaptability; board members asked clarifying questions. The transcript records this as a review for approval; a formal vote on the repairs or the scoreboard replacement was not recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.

The draft budget was presented to the board for review; presenter Katie said the district began the process in October and November and credited principals, departments and assistant superintendents for their work on the plan. Katie said some figures remain “predictions” because the district has not yet received the state digest that affects final numbers.

The tentative plan is intended to fund operations and services the district currently provides, Katie said; she asked board members to review the packet and bring questions to the next meeting. No formal vote on the tentative budget was recorded during the segment of the meeting provided.

District staff characterized the presentation as a working draft rather than a final document. Katie said staff will update figures once the digest and other pending items are finalized and will return with any changes for board action.

The board did not take a formal vote on the tentative budget during the presentation; the item was presented for review and further discussion.
