Heartland Charter District board asks for detailed accounting of bond borrowing, Provenance services and district office cost increases

After approving several agenda items, the Heartland Charter District board issued a series of requests seeking financial clarity and documentation related to bond funds, service providers and district office costs.

The board asked for an explanation and recapitulation of borrowing and lending of bond money and requested that the Heartland board be made aware of any borrowing or lending that occurs related to Heartland. The board requested a line-item and thorough financial breakdown of services provided by Provenance retroactive for the duration of Heartland's incorporation. Board members also asked for information on the determination and justification for any increase in the cost (expressed as a percent of state funding) for district office services compared with the previous year. Finally, the board requested an explanation of documents to be signed, specifically the requisition form and the certificate of borrowers.

The minutes record these items as formal board requests; they do not identify which board member introduced each request or provide deadlines or dollar amounts. The items were entered into the meeting minutes for follow-up by district staff.
