Superintendent: FEMA funds received; board to prioritize remaining bond dollars in January
Summary
The superintendent told the board FEMA grant funds (cited at about $3 million) have largely arrived and staff will finalize closeout paperwork; a January work session will set priorities for remaining bond funds, with door replacements listed as the top priority.
During the superintendent's report, the superintendent (Speaker 5) updated the board that FEMA grant dollars tied to recent projects have been received and staff are completing the documentation needed to close out the grant.
The superintendent estimated the FEMA-related funds at around $3,000,000 and credited staff (Kate specifically) with extensive work on grant closeout. She said receipt of those funds will allow the district to plan for remaining bond-funded projects and proposed a January work session to prioritize items. Board members indicated that door replacements were the top priority and discussed the utility of receiving ballpark costs in advance of the work session.
The superintendent also said cooperative agreements for athletics (football cooperative with Mankato area partners) will be revisited in January, and staff will meet with athletic directors and principals to craft recommended language.
No formal action was taken at the meeting beyond scheduling the work session and directing staff to prepare priority lists and cost estimates; the board will review the proposed projects and associated cost estimates in January.
