Summary
Board members discussed capital outlay planning, with administrators reporting about $30,000 preliminarily earmarked for buildings and grounds, $7,500 for classroom needs and repeated discussion of equipment/uniform cycles and a vehicle allocation; a final spreadsheet and recommendation will go to the board for approval on April 15.
Board members discussed capital outlay planning and preliminary dollar allocations for facilities, curriculum and equipment.
Mr. Brownlow told the board the administration had "earmarked about $30,000 for buildings and grounds" and was collecting quotes for paving, fencing and other site work. He said the administration recommends about $7,500 for classroom curriculum cycles (down from a larger figure last year) and noted annual equipment needs such as helmet replacement and uniform cycles for activities.
Brownlow said the administration would prepare a spreadsheet with quotes and bring a final recommendation to the board at its April 15 meeting for approval. Board members discussed the tradeoffs of delaying large purchases versus maintaining a routine replacement cycle to avoid future large expenditures.
No formal budget adoption occurred at the meeting; Brownlow said staff will finalize numbers and present them for board action at the next meeting.
