Loading...
Summary
The USD 261 board unanimously approved the capital outlay budget and a revised open‑enrollment capacity (622 spots) after brief presentations from the superintendent and treasurer; both votes were 6‑0.
The USD 261 Board of Education approved the district’s capital outlay budget and set open‑enrollment capacity for the coming year during its April meeting.
Treasurer Mr. Ryan reviewed capital outlay needs and said most projects are covered by the bond and annual site allocations. "So my recommendation for you would be to approve the capital outlay budget," he said. A motion to approve the capital outlay budget was made and seconded; the board voted 6‑0 in favor.
Superintendent Mr. Hirsch presented an updated open‑enrollment capacity plan, saying administrators reduced the number of out‑of‑district openings because of teacher attrition and that the district must publish capacity by law on May 1. He identified the current number as 622 openings for next year. The board approved the presented open‑enrollment capacity by motion, also on a 6‑0 vote.
Both motions passed with unanimous board support; administrators said additional special meetings in May may be scheduled if timelines require prompt approval of bid packages for capital projects.
