Board packet highlights payments for stadium work and other claims; district reports enrollment decline
Summary
The board packet listed payments including $475,783 to Builder Sales & Service for Mansour Stadium improvements and other claims; district staff reported an approximate decline of 60–63 resident students and a roughly 30-student decline in kids in seats, pending final counts.
At the meeting the board heard routine business and administrative updates, including accounts-payable highlights and preliminary enrollment figures.
Business/claims: the presenter flagged three payments included in the packet: a $35,603 payment to Allied Construction Services for districtwide hanging and touch-up items; a $475,783 payment to Builder Sales & Service Company for improvements to Mansour Stadium (the district noted a “green booklet” was received for that payment); and a $26,947 payment to Eric Works for the start of the Hitzer Run site.
Enrollment: district staff said enrollment counts must be finalized on the 15th of the month and that preliminary figures show the number of students who live in the district is down by approximately 60–63 students. Staff said the district’s count of “kids in seats” will be down by about 30 students, while “older enrollment” categories were up by about 30. The presenter characterized the change as roughly a 2% decline in resident students and said state funding mechanisms create a phased effect on revenue timing.
Events and safety updates: school administrators gave brief updates on recent school events and safety training. The report mentioned ecology day at Rock Creek Marina for several elementary grades, a PTO walkathon fundraiser, volunteer-supported heritage and “grown-ups” events, band/choir/orchestra concerts, and a districtwide safety focus including reviews of trauma kits and training with local fire departments. The Eldridge Fire Department conducted classroom visits and provided feedback after an informed fire drill.
Ending: staff noted the organizational meeting and election timeline and reminded board members of upcoming parent–teacher conferences. No formal votes or motions were recorded in the provided excerpt of the transcript.
