- Revisions to J student policies. The board approved proposed revisions to the district’s J student policies (first mentioned as an action item; staff said the changes were straightforward). (Motion: approval as presented.)
- Revised budget for 2024–25. The board approved a revised budget that adjusted appropriations after updated student-count and assessed‑valuation data and authorized use of beginning fund balance where required. District finance staff told trustees the revision reflects higher-than-projected student count but about $60 less state funding per pupil than forecast and a roughly $5.7 million reduction in mill-levy-override collections due to lower assessed valuation (primarily oil-and-gas valuations). The motion carried 6–0.
Details and implementation notes: The board recorded each vote via roll call; miss Lemon recorded “Aye” for all members. For the revised budget, staff noted they will use fund balance to continue some MLO projects and that both the MLO and general fund balances remain healthy. The board asked staff to continue monitoring financial conditions and present updates as needed.
Ending: All motions recorded during the meeting passed on unanimous votes; staff were asked to proceed with implementation and communications where relevant.
