Summary
The Steamboat Springs School Board on June 16 adopted the district’s fiscal‑year 2026 budget and appropriation resolution, authorized a portion of FY25 beginning fund balance, adopted policy EL‑5 and renewed an intergovernmental agreement for the Nov. 4, 2025 coordinated election, appointing Deborah Genesta as designated election official.
The Steamboat Springs School Board voted unanimously June 16 to adopt the district’s fiscal year 2026 budget and associated appropriation resolution and to authorize the limited use of a portion of the district’s beginning fund balance for FY25.
Board member Cresta moved to approve the fiscal‑year 2026 budget; Leah seconded. Deb Genesta conducted the roll call; Cresta, Laura, Leah and Board President Katie Lee were recorded voting in favor. The board then approved a separate resolution authorizing specified beginning fund‑balance expenditures; that motion was seconded and carried on a unanimous roll‑call vote.
In related business the board adopted policy EL‑5, “Commitment to Accomplishment and Accountability,” on its second reading after a motion by Leah and a second from Cresta. The board also approved a resolution to renew the intergovernmental agreement for the coordinated election to be held Nov. 4, 2025, and appointed Deborah Genesta as the district’s designated election official; Katie Lee made the motion and Leah seconded.
Board President Katie Lee framed the votes as routine fiscal and administrative steps needed as the district completes the school year and prepares for the fall. No board members recorded votes against or abstained during the actions taken June 16.
The board concluded its public session by approving a motion to move into executive session to discuss a personnel matter related to the superintendent’s ongoing evaluation pursuant to Colorado statute, citing CRS section 24‑6‑402(4)(f)(I).
