The district's Director of Schools reported ongoing construction progress and reviewed the district's finances, telling the board that about $12,500,000 has been spent on the new school to date and that the financial committee will meet in February to consider issuing an additional $10,000,000 in bonds to continue the project.

"We will start down that road," the director said, adding that the remainder of the project's funding will come from fund balance and proceeds from a school sale. He also shared drone footage of construction activity and noted progress on concrete footers, the CHS locker room and a new video board in the gym.

The board moved to approve four appropriations (items 1a through 1d) presented at the workshop. A roll-call vote recorded affirmative responses from Miss Beatty, Mr. Bale, Mr. Carden, Mr. Gillamaters, Mr. Miller and Miss Williams, and the motion carried.

The board also approved three transfers to fund safety door locks, nutrition maintenance and repairs, and preschool staff development following a motion and second.

On school outcome incentives, the director described the bonus schedule: $2,000 for schools rated an A or designated as reward schools, $1,000 for schools that maintain a B or above or move up one letter grade, and $1,000 for a school moving off the ATSI list. Board members confirmed the appropriation covers these incentives and no separate motion was required beyond the prior appropriation action.

No substantive debate changed the motions; approvals were routine and carried as presented. The director emphasized improved state report-card outcomes and said the district will continue monitoring construction timelines and bond planning with the financial committee.
