Board approves Aldridge Consulting agreement; business office reports small enrollment dip and capital donations
Summary
The board approved an Aldridge Consulting agreement to support a student's gradual reentry, then business staff reported a nine‑student net enrollment decline from January to February and noted capital donations totaling about $217,000 for early learning and skill‑center projects.
During new business the board approved an agreement with Aldridge Consulting to support transitional services for a student returning from an out‑of‑state placement. The motion to approve the Aldridge Consulting agreement was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Business staff then presented budget and enrollment data for February. The district recorded a modest decline of nine students overall compared with January (down six in core programs and down three in MP3), with special education enrollment down by five. Staff said running‑start and dropout‑reengagement counts were unchanged.
On the budget projection, staff reported a beginning fund balance near $2.16 million and full revenues around $2.57 million for the period presented. The capital projects fund showed incoming donations totaling roughly $217,000 — $207,000 from the Mount Baker Foundation earmarked for an early learning center and $10,000 from BP for the skill center — which staff said could reduce short‑term borrowing needs for initial project expenditures.
Trustees asked for more detail on pre‑COVID assessment baselines and on timing for calendar approval; staff said the revised calendar draft (makeup day March 21 and graduation moved) will be brought back to the board for consideration on March 12.
