Loading...
Summary
Finance staff reported $9 million in recent bond expenses, previewed a $2.6 million land purchase that will show on the next report, and Lindsey summarized technology-bond spending (infrastructure and classroom technology) with remaining balances of roughly $7.4M and $8.7M respectively.
Finance and technology staff reviewed recent spending and remaining bond balances and answered board questions about fund transfers and upcoming purchases.
Steve reported approximately $9 million in expenses since the prior month and described budget shifts, including a roughly $5.4 million reduction after moving project-manager expenses and an expected land purchase (~$2.6 million) that will post on the next report. He also outlined locally defined fund updates, noting a planned $1.9 million transfer and that Belleville Elementary’s line item (~$6.8 million) mostly reflects contingencies that will return to fund balance when work is complete.
Lindsey reviewed the 2023 technology bond propositions: the infrastructure proposition had an original authorization of $18,800,000 with about $11.3 million spent and a remaining balance near $7.4 million; the classroom technology proposition originally authorized $18,000,000 with $9.2 million spent and about $8.7 million remaining. Lindsey listed upcoming projects including cafeteria AV and standardizing campus monitors and said cybersecurity work and a firewall upgrade are planned.
Board members asked about procurement cadence and device lifecycles (Chromebook lifespans of roughly 4–5 years with battery degradation near six years). Staff did not request immediate board action on new technology purchases; they will return with purchase requests as part of the six-month refresh cadence.
