Board approves consent agenda; superintendent reports staffing costs topping $14 million
Summary
The board approved consent agenda items and heard the superintendent's financial update: claims just under $300,000 this month (excluding salaries/benefits), a general fund balance above $6 million, and projected staffing costs exceeding $14 million when contracted services are included.
The DAVID CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS board approved the consent agenda and received a financial update from the superintendent that included claims totals, fund balances and staffing-cost forecasts.
The superintendent reported the district had "just under $300,000" in claims presented for approval this month, not including salaries and benefits. He highlighted a $9,000 hotel charge to house students attending national FCCLA events in Washington, D.C., and noted two large Chromebook purchases for ninth- and fifth-grade students. The superintendent said the general fund balance is over $6,000,000.
On staffing, the superintendent told trustees the district anticipates in-house staffing costs of $13,110,951 next year; when adding more-than-$1,000,000 in costs for contracted services (ESU providers, Boys Town and related therapy services), the district's staff-related costs will exceed $14,000,000.
A motion to approve consent agenda items 4.1—64.3 was made and seconded (mover recorded as Donnie, seconder as Casey). The board recorded verbal "yes" votes and the motion passed; the transcript records mover and seconder but does not provide a full roll-call mapping each yes vote to a name.
Trustees also received a curriculum committee update on CTE textbook choices and were told bills for new textbooks will be presented at the May meeting.
