District IT staff presented the draft policy and said the proposal implements recommendations from the district's risk-management partner. Trustees raised questions about the notification timeline—specifically, how and when departing employees are told their accounts will be disabled—and about digital records and ownership of data created in district systems.

Trustee Susan Stanfill suggested adding a paragraph to the policy requiring notification to the affected employee of the date their access will end; she recommended the policy explicitly require the site administrator to notify HR/payroll and the employee so no one is surprised when deactivation occurs. At the same time trustees sought assurance that the district retains records for compliance and that immediate deactivation would be used only in specific circumstances. IT staff confirmed accounts are retained according to district retention rules and that immediate disabling is used only when directed by HR.

Trustees also asked staff to confirm whether the policy should explicitly note district ownership of student records and other materials that employees may create in district systems, and whether vendor access or third-party breaches are covered in vendor agreements. Board members requested the draft policy be revised to add: (1) an explicit employee-notification step in the deactivation timeline, (2) clarification of responsibilities (site admin, HR, IT) and (3) language on data retention and district ownership of records.

No final action was taken; staff said they would incorporate the requested clarifications and return the draft for final approval at a subsequent meeting, with the option to place the second reading on the consent agenda if trustees agree after revisions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","ECSD Board Meeting 5/20/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Trustees reviewed a proposed IT policy that would standardize how district accounts are disabled when employees leave.

Reroof contract: The board accepted the low bid for the old central-office reroof project and conditionally awarded the contract to State Roofing Systems Inc. The district reported three bids were received and the apparent low bid was $226,449. The conditional award requires the bidder to submit, in a timely manner, the signed contract, proof of required insurance, an issued performance bond and an issued payment bond before the award becomes final. The motion was moved and seconded on the record and approved by voice vote.

Consent agenda and accounts payable: Trustees moved and seconded approval of the consent agenda and the accounts-payable packet (identified in the meeting as \"board docs 5/20/25 PDF\"). A board member disclosed a potential conflict and abstained from vote on the accounts payable packet; the board otherwise approved both items by voice vote.

Board appointment: The board approved a personnel/board item identified in the packet as \"board member Stanfill\" (board documentation and vote recorded on the consent calendar). One abstention was recorded for that item; otherwise the appointment was approved.

Formal actions recorded at the meeting were routine and largely procedural. The board chair confirmed motions passed by voice vote where roll-call tallies were not read into the record.

Provenance: the conditional contract award for the old central office reroof project appeared on the agenda as item 2.01 and was discussed and voted on during the meeting; the consent agenda, accounts-payable and the board-member appointment were handled under the consent/action sections of the agenda.","At its May meeting the Elko County School District Board conditionally awarded a reroof contract, approved accounts payable and the consent agenda, and confirmed a board appointment.

District finance staff member Cassie Stolke told trustees the district budget reflects enrollment and funding uncertainties and cost increases, saying, “Revenues have been pretty much budgeted flat within the governor's projected budget.” The board voted to adopt the budget as presented; the motion was made, seconded and passed on voice vote.

Why it matters: the adopted budget projects a substantial drawdown of the district's reserves and includes both one-time and recurring increases that will affect services and staffing decisions. Stolke told the board the district began the year with an opening fund balance of about $12.9 million and is projecting an ending general-fund balance near $5.97 million for FY26 under the adopted plan.

Key numbers and changes described to the board:
- Per-pupil funding used in the FY26 budget was $11,672 based on a budgeting enrollment of 9,500 students; Stolke noted the district is currently funded for roughly 9,200 students and said auditors could reduce funding after quarterly audits.
- Projected increases driving expenditures include an estimated PERS (retirement) increase of about $2.3 million and an approximate $2.5 million set aside for merit and longevity increases in salaries and benefits.
- Total additional expenditures for FY26 were estimated by staff at about $9.7 million; Cassie Stolke listed a one-time ERP replacement cost near $170,000 and ongoing annual ERP licensing near $20,000.
- The district plans an almost $11 million transfer from the general fund to cover special-education costs this year; staff explained much of that figure reflects reclassification of positions and proper charging of school psychologists and other services to special education rather than a sudden increase in service levels.
- Federal COVID-era funding is dropping; Stolke reported an anticipated federal funding decrease of roughly $4.6 million as pandemic-era grants expire.
- Insurance costs were shown at about $24 million total; employees and retirees pay roughly $3.7 million of that, with the district subsidizing the remainder and planning adjustments intended to reduce the district transfer by about $1.8 million annually if changes take effect as expected.

Board discussion focused on the mechanics of state funding, the timing of legislative changes and the district's contingency planning. Stolke reminded trustees that the annual budget is due to the state June 8 and that, because Nevada is in a legislative session, the district may file an augmented budget within 30 days if state-mandated changes require adjustments (citing NRS 354.598 as the statute that governs augmented budgets in legislative years). Trustees asked for clarifications about the pupil-centered funding audits and how midyear true-ups might reduce district revenue.

Trustees also discussed capital and facilities funding: staff said the district's capital-improvement (\"pay-as-you-go\") fund had been drawn down and that roughly $4.6 million in local levy receipts is available for use as a match for potential state grants. Staff said they are preparing applications to the governor's office for matching funds for the district's CIP.

The board approved the final budget by voice vote; trustees were advised the budget could be revisited should significant legislative or revenue changes occur before the start of FY27.

What’s next: staff will monitor the close of the legislative session (trustees were told the session was expected to close June 2), update the board if state funding formulas or supplemental bills change allocations, and present a draft CIP for board consideration in June.","The Elko County School District Board approved the final fiscal year 2025–26 budget after a detailed presentation from district finance staff that highlighted enrollment declines, a projected draw on reserves and several one-time and ongoing cost pressures including PERS increases and insurance costs.","actionData","errors"]
