District reports $70.2M collected to date, construction progress, safety training and kindergarten registration of 37
Summary
District administrators reported general fund revenue collected to date, progress on construction projects including high‑school foundations and upcoming boiler work, completion of a level‑2 safety training for administration, and kindergarten/junior‑kindergarten registration of 37 students.
District administrators reported financial, construction and safety updates during the meeting and provided kindergarten registration numbers for the coming year.
Financial report: the presenter stated the district had collected $70,205,000, described as 62% of budget revenue at the time of the report, and compared that to prior‑year figures given in the presentation. The transcript lists the comparative figures as 16,296,060 (percent unclear) and other amounts referenced for prior years; the transcript phrasing is not fully clear on these comparisons.
Construction and facilities: administrators reported that work at the high school has continued with dirt work and foundations completed; the presenter said the final foundation work is done and that wall construction was scheduled to begin March 24. The arena scoreboard project is complete, and a stadium scoreboard is planned for later in the spring. Middle‑school boiler work is scheduled to begin later in the spring. The district also listed upcoming projects including a middle‑school roof replacement, a partial high‑school roof replacement, renovations in the high‑school music room and kitchen, welding‑shop ventilation work, and work on the CPE building.
Safety training: the presentation said the full administration team completed "level 2 OC" comprehensive school assessment guidelines training in partnership with the self‑improvement safety center via Zoom. Presenters described the training as using progressively complex scenarios to analyze threats, establish response plans and identify supports for affected students, and they tied the work to the district’s strategic initiative on work environment and facility safety.
Kindergarten registration: kindergarten administration began registration; the presenter reported 37 students registered (including junior kindergarten and kindergarten). The presenter compared that total with prior years listed in the transcript: 156 (last year), 99 (2023) and 122 (2022).
Executive session: the board moved into executive session under codified law 1‑25‑2 (section 4) "for the sole purpose of preparing for contract negotiations with employees or employee representatives." The board stated there would be no action after the executive session. Kelly called the roll; the transcript records Aye votes from Carter and Michelle and indicates the motion passed. The transcript does not contain a complete roll‑call tally in the excerpt provided.
No formal board action beyond entering the executive session was recorded in the available transcript excerpt.
