Mill‑levy override committee seeks $1.6 million amendment for secondary ELA curriculum and review
Summary
The Mill Levy Override oversight committee proposed reallocating non‑recurring contingency funds: $1.5 million for a secondary ELA curriculum purchase and $100,000 to complete the committee's tri‑annual review.
District staff and the Mill Levy Override (MLO) oversight committee requested a plan amendment on March 1 to allocate contingency funds to two items: $1.5 million for a secondary English‑language arts curriculum RFP/purchase and $100,000 to fund the MLO’s required tri‑annual review.
Director/committee chair representatives said the $1.5 million is intended to complete a districtwide ELA adoption at the secondary level; staff noted the RFP and curriculum selection process remains to be completed. The $100,000 covers the external review that the MLO must perform every three years.
Committee members said the funds are non‑recurring within the MLO budget and that the amendment will be brought to the board as an action item with amounts clearly stated on the motion. The board asked staff to prepare the formal action language listing the exact dollar amounts.
Ending: The board received the amendment as new information and asked staff to present the formal action item with amounts for the next meeting.
