The Waynoka Public Schools board heard a monthly financial report in which Speaker 4 said the district's expenditures are down this month but revenue comparisons are lower than last year, in part because a prior settlement boosted earlier revenue. "Revenue, if you're looking at a revenue showing that we're down this month, 500,000," Speaker 4 said, and later added the district has "collected about $250,000 less."
Speaker 4 singled out the child‑nutrition program as a concern, saying the program's expenditures are up and that the district is approximately $40,000 "in the red" on a four‑month snapshot. "This is a 4 month picture out of a 10 month picture," Speaker 4 said, and urged the board to monitor the program as the school year continues. The report noted a playground fence and intercom purchase charged to security funds and described the daycare program as "trending a lot better," with reduced losses compared with earlier months.
