Bryant said the change began earlier that year when traffic began to come down Anderson Lane toward the facility. She reported counting “79 cars” pass through in the evening and described a recurring condition in which “four cars right at the end of Anderson Lane” block what she said is a one‑lane road, preventing a fully loaded log truck from passing. Bryant said a vehicle “ran completely off the road to avoid that log truck,” and that a head‑on collision was narrowly avoided. She described being harassed and having people linger at her front door when cars queue at the road’s end.

Bryant asked the district to explore options such as rerouting traffic, paving additional area to allow passing, and telling drivers not to park four abreast at the end of Anderson Lane. She acknowledged the Pinellas parking lot is small and said many parents do not use bus transportation for their children.

Bryant also referenced a statutory citation during her remarks (transcribed as “KRSI 2 5.14”) and said the safety concern is both for residents and for people walking in front of the school.

Board members thanked Bryant for raising the concern; no formal board action on traffic was taken during the Sept. 23 meeting other than asking staff to note the concern.

Staff presenter Miss Koval reviewed key figures: anticipated SEEK (state) funding of roughly $17,000,000, approximately $1,450,000 in local tax revenue retained in the general fund, and an ending general fund balance reported as $9,968,000. She said first-quarter state grant disbursements were received in special revenue funds and that food-service reimbursements totaled $166,000. Koval also summarized other funds: capital outlay revenues of $225,000; building fund state revenues of $999,000 plus a local property-tax match of $364,000 that will be transferred to the debt service fund for bond payments; and food-service expenditures to reflect current staffing and food costs.

Board members discussed timing for required submission; one member noted the budget must be filed with KDE before an upcoming deadline. A board member moved to approve the 2025–26 working budget; the motion was seconded and approved by members present.

The working budget includes a contingency of approximately $1,425,000 (about 5% of general fund expenditures) and represents initial allocations that the board may revisit as actual revenue figures are finalized. Staff said special revenue funds are budgeted on a zero-based basis, with revenues offsetting expenditures in the fund.

No further action on budget amendments or specific contract awards was taken at the meeting; the board approved the working budget and moved on to other items.

Superintendent Taylor told the board the property has been discussed “on and off for years” and that the district’s insurer views the site as a liability in its current condition. Taylor said the district obtained three ballpark estimates for cleanup and demolition that “range from 20 something thousand up to 80 something thousand” and described work that would include hauling debris, removing hazardous material per the asbestos report, and burying specified materials on site. “If you all want to do that, I just need your go ahead and then we can actually advertise for we do a RFP, for services cleanup services and burial, demolition and burial,” Taylor said.

Board members moved and seconded a motion to start the sealed-bid procurement for demolition and cleanup; members present voted to approve the motion. Taylor said the district had consulted an asbestos assessor and that certain materials could be handled on site with proper procedures; he said the district would advertise, accept sealed bids and return any received proposals to the board for approval. He also said the district would retain the option to reject all bids.

Taylor said leaving the property as-is posed a risk of trespassers and potential claims against the district, and that the board had previously considered selling the parcel but had decided to retain it. He also told members that once materials are buried, the district would need to disclose that fact to a future buyer if it sold the property.

Board members discussed whether to leave concrete slab in place and how to structure the bid documents; Taylor noted the district could run equipment in-house if contractors provided insured, bonded operators, and shared a vendor quote for heavy equipment rental of roughly $20,000 per month as a comparative figure. No final contract award was made at the meeting; the board authorized staff to proceed with sealed bids and to return to the board for selection of any award.
