Board approves at‑risk/dropout plan, seeks $938,483 SBRC modification
Summary
The board approved the district’s at‑risk/dropout plan and a School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) request for $938,483 in modified supplemental aid for the 2026‑27 school year; staff said the total program budget with required local match will be about $1.2 million.
The Burlington Community School District board approved an at‑risk/dropout plan for 2026‑27 and authorized submission of a School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) request on Jan. 12.
District staff explained that the SBRC calculation (3.3% of the district’s regular program funding) yields a modified supplemental amount of $938,483; the program requires a 25% local match and results in a total operating budget in the roughly $1.2 million range. Staff emphasized that the at‑risk/dropout program is funded through property‑tax revenue in the district and that the requested amount reflects declining enrollment.
A board member moved to approve the SBRC request of $938,483 and the motion was seconded; the board approved both the at‑risk/dropout plan and the SBRC funding request by voice vote.
Next steps: staff will submit the SBRC application and continue to allocate program staffing (approximately 5.5 FTE of at‑risk teachers and additional student support positions) consistent with the approved plan.
