Cannon County district files SABE Act documentation; staff to draft spending plan for new state safety allocation
Summary
District staff reported completing required SABE Act compliance documents and said Cannon County should receive roughly $33,000 from recent state safety funding; a spending plan based on a recent safety assessment will be prepared for board review in September.
District staff told the board workshop that the district has completed the required SABE Act (school safety) documentation and must upload the district’s emergency operations plan and related items for state approval.
A staff member said the legislature recently allocated additional school-safety dollars and that Cannon County’s allocation will be “close to $33,000.” The district plans to use an existing safety assessment to develop a spending plan and budget for the funds; staff said they aim to present a plan to the board for approval in the September meeting.
Staff noted that the SABE Act documentation requires a board chair signature on the district submission. One administrator said she and “Mister Bill” will work to develop a spending plan from the safety assessment performed at the end of last school year.
No formal spending decision was made at the workshop; staff said submission of documents to the state must occur before the district can complete an application for the safety funds.
Board members heard the update as part of a broader packet that included financial and supervisor reports.
