At the April 8, 2025, meeting of the Greater Clark County Schools Board of Trustees, a staff member presented the district’s major funds monitoring report as the district moves toward budget season.
The report showed the education fund cash balance at $15,500,000 for the period ending in February and the operations fund cash balance at roughly $4.7 million; debt service cash was reported at $5.3 million. The staff member told trustees the district’s report combines the education fund and a technical grant fund for reporting purposes, and that quarterly reports will show the separate balances.
The presentation noted several near‑term cost and replacement items the district expects to fund, including a Chromebook refresh anticipated in two to three years and two large curriculum adoptions — one for elementary and an ELA adoption for secondary — each described in the report as near $2 million. The presenter said the district expects state funding for some of those purchases but that the state had not yet confirmed timing.
The board accepted the monitoring report by voice vote. The motion and second were not identified in the meeting transcript; the record shows the board approved the report on an oral “aye.”
Why it matters: trustees and staff said protecting cash balances and securing vendor pricing now will help the district enter the formal budget process with contingency for expected cost increases. The report will be revisited in upcoming quarterly monitoring sessions leading into the budget hearings.
What’s next: staff said they will present the April and March closings at the next meeting to bring the monitoring report up to date and will continue separating the technical grant detail in the quarterly presentation.
