Board clarifies charter Measure K/C figures after member pulls consent item
Summary
A board member pulled the Measure K/C charter facilities consent item for clarification. Staff explained how Inspire’s $10M total (9M charter + $1M district) and 65% allocations were reflected in the worksheet and promised corrected figures at the next Measure K item.
Board member Hayes pulled consent item 3.4, which covered Charter Schools Measure K and C projects, seeking clarification about totals shown for charter allocations and the Inspire project.
Fiscal staff (Jacqueline) walked the board through an amended summary and the tracking worksheet, explaining that Inspire received $9 million from the charter allocation plus $1 million from the district side (for a $10 million total referenced in previous board actions). Staff noted that the 65% pot and narrative lines live in different columns for bookkeeping reasons and that the packet’s printed worksheets were updated the day before to more transparently reflect dollars requested, dollars allocated and dollars spent; staff said remaining display issues will be corrected for the next Measure K item.
After the clarification, the board returned the item to the consent calendar and approved the full consent agenda by voice vote, 5–0.
Why this matters: The Measure K/C funds support facilities projects for charter and district schools. Clear accounting supports public oversight and ensures the board and the public can track how bond dollars and district contributions are allocated and spent.
Direct quotes: "So that's the 10,000,000 that we referenced, but really only 9,000,000 is coming out of the charter side," said staff. "That will be corrected when it comes forward at the next board meeting related to measure k," staff added.
