Board approves three SBRC spending-authority requests totaling $1,529,714.21
Summary
Board approved three motions to submit spending-authority requests to the School Budget Review Committee for (1) $219,296 for increased certified count, (2) $410,599.73 for open-enrolled-out students not on prior-year headcount, and (3) $899,818.48 for ELL instruction beyond five years; each request passed in separate motions.
The board approved three annual spending-authority requests to the Iowa School Budget Review Committee.
Business officer Randy summarized the three statutory categories that districts may request: increased certified enrollment count, open-enrolled-out students not on prior-year headcount, and costs for providing instruction such as extended ELL services.
The motions and outcomes were: • $219,296 for increased certified enrollment count: motion moved and carried 6–0. • $410,599.73 for open-enrolled-out students not previously on the head count: motion moved and carried (vote recorded as 6–0). • $899,818.48 for English-language-learner instruction beyond five years: motion moved and carried (vote recorded as 6–0).
These are annual, routine items represented as spending-authority requests (not additional cash) submitted by the district on behalf of allowable categories; administration indicated the board would make each request by separate motion as required.
Next steps: the district will submit the three requests to the SBRC per standard procedure.
