Summary

The board approved TSSA amendments for McMillan Elementary and Murray High and a school land trust amendment for Murray High to reallocate funds for literacy supplies, ESL support, PD and website management stipends, and academic support periods.

The Murray City School District board voted to approve several budget amendments affecting McMillan Elementary and Murray High School.

McMillan Elementary: The board approved a transfer within the school’s TSSA plan that reallocates previously budgeted stipends for family literacy nights to purchase additional family literacy supplies. Director Dean said the reallocation increases McMillan’s home literacy supplies from $2,000 to $3,750 to better support at-home learning.

Murray High School — TSSA amendments: The high school’s community council approved several changes that the board adopted: moving an instructional aide who supports ESL students in math from school land trust funds to TSSA funding (except for $6,118 already paid), reallocating two periods of an ESL study hall to TSSA, temporarily increasing the professional development coordinator stipend from $1,000 to $2,000 for the accreditation year, and increasing the website manager stipend from $3,500 to $4,000 to cover migration to a new platform.

Murray High School — School land trust amendment: To balance these changes, the board approved a school land trust amendment that increases the high school’s land trust allocation (noted in discussion as an increase from ~$182,000 to $215,000) to fund ACT/AP/Concurrent Enrollment/ESL/STEM periods and to avoid a negative carryover. Dean said the amendment leaves the projected carryover at approximately $7,290.

All TSSA amendments and the land trust amendment were presented as having gone through each school’s community council. The board voted and passed the motions by voice vote.

Next steps: The land trust amendment will go to the school land trust administration for review and approval the following day; administrators will be notified to implement the approved changes.
