Interim Superintendent Stokes briefed the board on a follow-up meeting with County Manager Scott Whitaker about the district’s 2025–26 budget request, which included a capital ask of $1.011 million.
Stokes said Whitaker asked the district to reestablish quarterly joint meetings with the county commission, to develop a 3- and 5-year facilities plan, and to collaborate on a budget and project update calendar. Stokes described the district’s most immediate capital needs as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) work he estimated at about $800,000 and roofing needs he described as nearly $600,000.
