District says driver‑education trust obligation met; ABAC asks for demographic and immigration‑status data but district has none
Summary
Officials told the committee the district met its $6.2 million drivers‑education trust obligation and will seek county reimbursement. Committee members also requested counts of students who might be affected by federal immigration-policy changes; the district said it does not collect students’ documentation status.
The committee received a final update on the district’s drivers‑education safety trust fund and recorded that the district has met its $6.2 million obligation, with plans to seek reimbursement from county funds.
Ron Steiger reported to the committee that the district would send a memo to the Inspector General showing that all $6.2 million in obligated trust funds have been spent and that the district will seek reimbursement from county‑held funds. "Within a week, the IG will be getting a memo detailing that the district has met its $6,200,000 obligation and all expenses have been spent," he said.
New‑business data request: ABAC member Hunter Johnson asked for a report estimating how many district students could be affected by changes in federal immigration policy (for budgeting and support planning). Chief financial/operations staff said the district does not collect students’ documentation or immigration‑status information and cannot provide counts. The committee recorded the request; staff said they would coordinate with the administration to clarify what data can be provided for future budget planning.
Ending: The committee received the drivers‑education update and acknowledged the limitations on district data regarding students’ immigration or documentation status.
