Nixa board hears update: district receives $5.1 million in federal funds, small enrollment dip noted

During superintendent comments at the February meeting of the Nixa Board of Education, the board heard a district budget update that included federal funding totals and a small enrollment change.

A presenter identified in the transcript as Bridal Rance discussed federal support for the district and said the district receives $5,100,000 from the federal government, which the presentation characterized as about 6% of the district’s budget. The same portion of the meeting noted current enrollment is “around nine students less than this time last year.”

Board members indicated they will monitor funding developments and legislative activity that could affect state support for school districts. The transcript records a reference to bills in the state legislature but does not specify bill numbers or outcomes.

The board did not take a formal vote on budget allocations during the meeting; the item was presented as an informational update.
