Summary
Superintendent presented a 2‑minute compilation of student 'good things' as part of the 'Capturing Kids' Hearts' initiative; finance director Jennifer reported general fund encumbrance at 93% and collections up approximately $2.6 million versus last year.
Superintendent Drew presented a short video compiled from a larger project in which staff asked students 'What's good?' The two‑minute compilation included dozens of student clips celebrating academic, extracurricular and family milestones; board members praised the piece and encouraged future installments.
On finance, Jennifer reviewed the district’s funds: general fund encumbered/spent at 93% (down 3% relative to last year) with collections up about $2,600,000 (noting 2.5% of that increase was state revenue). The building fund encumbrance/spent ratio was reported at 72.8%; bond and sinking fund balances showed no recent bond sales and stable positions. Child Nutrition encumbered/spent at 6.4%, with a recent collections increase tied to a claim received.
Superintendent updates also covered professional development and leadership: 23 district staff completed an SNU master’s cohort in educational administration and leadership development programming continues districtwide, with 30 attendees at the first scheduled session.
What happens next: the district will continue leadership development programming and staff said they will provide further financial breakdowns on request to clarify where savings are occurring.
