Kathy reported the district has collected $39,177,000, or 93.4% of the revised budget, in revenue and that expenditures through June are $40,000,791, or 99% of the revised budget. She said audit preparatory work is underway and the remote audit is scheduled for the week of Aug. 25, with formal auditor presentations planned for October.
Kathy explained the district has not yet recognized all state receivables and that the state commonly withholds about 10% of funds pending final reporting and audit adjustments. On federal programming, Kathy described Title I and Title II applications as the district’s current federal filings and warned the federal allocations are finalized later in the cycle: “we do an initial application... we don't actually get our formal allocation to know what we'll really receive until the spring.”
Ralph, the board treasurer, reviewed the May and June checks and tax ledger and told the board he found them “in order.” The superintendent and board members asked whether possible reductions in federal allocations would materially affect the district; Kathy and the superintendent said they are monitoring state and federal signals but that federal Title funds represent a relatively small portion of total district revenue.
The finance staff said additional audit and receivable postings next month may change percentages slightly; the board was informed that the district will present a fuller audited view of June results after the August remote audit work and at the October auditor presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","July 14, 2025 Westonka School Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Kathy, a district finance staff member, told the board the revenue and expense figures through June 30, 2025, are a snapshot that will be adjusted as audit entries and receivables are posted.","taxTitle","WESTONKA PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Boards, Minnesota","taxId",39828,"location","Minnesota","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6168405,"Underground fuel tank removed at Grandview; corridor tile issues push some work to next summer as district aims to open classrooms for fall",421,14384,435870,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5407822-0137d4b3a2b27c6cefbb2fb0c64b536b&start=14&end=435","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5407822-0137d4b3a2b27c6cefbb2fb0c64b536b/thumbnail_14384.jpg","/articles/6168405/Minnesota/Underground-fuel-tank-removed-at-Grandview-corridor-tile-issues-push-some-work-to-next-summer-as-district-aims-to-open-classrooms-for-fall","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168405-f484b34aabba3a6b5da73daa3ef78e49/orig.mp4?Expires=1773575854&Signature=WxNE2UHXMZAGLo-94jjmzh-gWvg35Vd0EpFCOkB6tO1fO7uA1smvUwkCdOKHxb9PFFwEJjCHpdVRJ9EOs3kEHdmFqLkCfVKTwGTnSOiUPtczyE4dcrxh1th9LmNtTTNm5rENHYY4jPLrgC3ZctmQAUKqWSMjf~10e1m7iziy8kqFGiviJRIHTRsG7DWguX2YpHb9a12vY06WsE0~AqyfBBBcfTW3vGwDoXx9VgLb6mEQ2YbaWbpS605Ozmt4tQUDtd8CH3ngYihYT~XyvXDlUkx5ZB8exah3kd765Vn4pg2HOiUr0ebzsVXxgdAoKHaHrKuFXF0OoOA8DxpmUnEv2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dustin, a district staff member presenting the construction report, told the school board the Grandview and Westonka construction projects remain active but have encountered unplanned conditions that changed sequencing and timing.
Dustin said crews discovered “an underground, underground fuel oil storage tank in the front of the building right where the handicap ramp goes. So that put us behind a little bit,” and that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency had been involved to remove contaminated soil and the tank. He told the board there were “about 7 dumpsters in total” on site to store contaminated material while remediation and backfill proceed.
The chain-test of corridor tile at Westonka High showed about 90% of the tile area would require removal, the construction presenter said, because ripping up tile pulls up the underlying mortar “mud bed” and would require replacing the sub-base. That testing result made completing corridor tile replacement this summer infeasible, and the district said the corridor work has been pushed to next year. District staff estimated that a full corridor tile replacement could take “somewhere in the realm of a month and a half to 3 months” to complete, depending on phasing and equipment.
Despite those issues, the construction presenter and Superintendent Kevin told the board the district is prioritizing classroom turnover and safety before the start of the school year. Dustin listed near-term work for the middle school and other buildings — interior painting, ceramic tile, casework, acoustic ceiling grid, light and plumbing fixtures, and flooring — and said footings and foundations work at the front entry were scheduled to proceed in July. Kevin said safety is the primary focus and that staff are developing operational plans to separate construction from students and provide safe pathways once school opens.
Board members asked about parking impacts and noise. The construction presenter said contractors will not be allowed to park on site and that contractor parking has been staged off site (near Sunnyfield by the ball fields and inside the tennis court area) to preserve student parking. He acknowledged that heavy equipment and tile removal could be noisy and said the team would evaluate timing and mitigation measures to reduce disruption during school hours.
The superintendent noted the district had favorable bid results for the projects that have reduced cost pressure but that unanticipated work, such as the tank removal and the tile sub-base replacement, will use contingency funds in part. No formal motion or vote was taken on construction changes during the meeting; the board was updated and asked to expect continued reports.

Chair moved approval of action item 7a, “approval of the resolution relating to the election of school board members and calling the school board district reelection.” A roll call was conducted by alphabetical order and the board recorded yes votes from Brian, Lauren, Ralph, Heidi and Dave; the motion carried.
The board then approved action item 7b, a cooperative sponsorship in wrestling with Holy Family School. Trustees asked whether the co-op was driven by participant numbers; a board member and district staff said it would help fill weights and strengthen the program. The motion carried on a voice vote.
The board approved action item 7c, authorizing long-term facility maintenance revenue in Intermediate District 287, and action item 7d, approving LTFM expenditure projections and the required statement of assurances. Both passed on voice votes. The board also approved action item 7e to increase athletic registration fees by $5; the board noted the fee change is modest and intended to help cover rising program expenses.
All the approvals were moved and seconded at the meeting and carried; minutes record voice votes for several of the items and a roll-call for the election resolution. No board member requested these items be tabled for further study during this meeting.","The Westonka board approved a resolution calling the school board district re-election, a cooperative wrestling sponsorship with Holy Family School, long-term facility maintenance (LTFM) revenue participation in Intermediate District 287 and related expenditure projections and assurances, and a $5 increase in athletic registration fees.","actionData","errors"]
