Board approves LEA CSIP budget support letter to meet DESE accountability points
Summary
Trustees approved a board resolution-style LEA CSIP budget support letter, which DESE requires to link budgeted expenditures to the district's strategic plan and to preserve APR accountability points; the motion was moved and seconded and approved by the board.
The Excelsior Springs School Board approved a LEA CSIP budget support letter that the district will submit to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to document that budget decisions support the district's strategic plan. Superintendent (Speaker 4) told trustees the DESE area supervisor advised the letter must state the board approves using funds to support strategic-plan goals so the district can claim accountability points in its APR.
The superintendent said the letter is based on the recent budget revision and is intended to be a cover statement linking CSIP goals with budget allocations; there are no new budget expenditures in the letter itself. He described the letter as part of routine DESE documentation to demonstrate alignment between spending and strategic objectives.
A board member moved to approve the letter; Fred moved, Jill seconded, and the board recorded that the motion passed. The superintendent said the letter reflects the changes made in the budget revision and will be submitted through the CSIP process to help secure accountability points.
