Summary

The board approved Resolution 107-2023 (budgetary transfer report) and Resolution 108-2023 (year-end financial resolutions), and discussed a new year-end resolution addressing negative student meal balances required by district policy and auditors.

Resolution 108-2023 approving the year-end financial resolution for 2023–24 was moved and approved by the board.
