District reports 4,744 students and $945,000 in bus purchases; staff recommends carrying over $434,052 in outcomes funding
Summary
District staff reported enrollment of 4,744 and year-to-date absenteeism of 5.5%, said five buses were purchased for $945,000 (about $60,000 under estimate), and recommended carrying over $434,052 in TCAT outcomes funding into next year’s budget.
District staff reported enrollment and several budget and procurement items to the board during the director’s report.
"Enrollment is at 4,744 students," speaker 3 told the board and noted year-to-date absenteeism of 5.5% with a slight uptick linked to recent illness. He highlighted calendar items including a March 26 job fair and pre-K/kindergarten registration opening March 23 with an in-person registration event on May 1.
On procurement, staff reported that five buses were purchased for $945,000—about $60,000 less than estimated—and that the purchases were funded from infrastructure funds. In a budget-related item, staff recommended carrying over $434,052 in outcomes funding tied to TCAT performance into next year’s budget, noting previous practice and clinic productivity benefits cited in the packet.
Speaker 3 said clinic services helped offset costs through reduced employee productivity losses and workers’ compensation claims, and recommended using the outcomes funds for continued clinic support while staff evaluates the contract next year.
What happens next: The board chair requested motions for recognition items and the meeting proceeded; the transcript does not record final board votes or a formal approval on the outcomes carryover or bus purchases during the excerpts provided.
