Clinton schools named reward schools; finance staff reports steady revenues and upcoming budget amendments
Summary
School official Kelly Johnson announced two elementary schools and Clinton High School as reward schools and said an inclusive playground is open; finance staff reported state/local per-student funding around $10,000 and said a budget amendment will be proposed to cover recent capital work.
Kelly Johnson delivered a schools update to the council, announcing that Clinton Elementary School and North Clinton Elementary School were designated reward schools and that Clinton High School also earned a reward designation. She said South Clinton narrowly missed the designation.
Johnson also announced that the all-inclusive playground at Clinton Elementary is now open and being scheduled for equitable access: "Our Clinton Elementary School all inclusive playground is open for business," she said, adding that staff are working to ensure fair access through scheduling.
In a separate finance presentation, Scott Rae summarized per-pupil funding levels from state and local sources and offered a rough figure for combined state and local funding: "So you're looking at $10,000 state and local per student," he said, explaining the figure varies based on special-education and other weighting factors. Rae said federal reimbursements for grant-funded projects are averaging a 30–45 day turnaround and that recent capital work (auditorium seating and playground) will be finalized with an upcoming budget amendment.
Next steps: the finance office will present a budget amendment to reconcile recent capital expenditures and continue monitoring revenues and federal reimbursements. Schools will continue midyear assessments after the upcoming holidays.
