Red Lake board reviews finances, approves July bills and consent items
Summary
The Red Lake Public School District board heard a July finance report showing a seasonal dip in the general fund, approved roughly $3.5 million in July bills and advanced multiple consent items including hires, a resignation and a funded travel request.
The Red Lake Public School District board on Aug. 2 reviewed its monthly finance report, approved the district's July bills and moved several consent items forward.
Business manager Willie Larson reported a starting balance of $29.5 million and an ending balance of $26.3 million for July 2024, attributing the decrease to routine summer purchases. "That's usually the ebb and flow of our general fund," Larson said, and he told the board "everything is in order" and submitted the report for official approval.
The board considered and approved the list of bills and wires for July, described during the meeting as totaling about $3.5 million. Chair Mike Barett called for a motion and a second; members supported the approval and the item moved forward.
On the consent agenda the board previewed routine items to be approved, including minutes from the July 17 meeting, a single milk bid for the coming school year, fiscal year 2025 fee and miscellaneous pay schedules, three hires, sub lists, and a pair of out-of-state travel requests. The board also discussed and noted a resignation from a middle-level language arts teacher (listed on the agenda) and a proposed hire to fill that vacancy.
One travel request for Tammy Liberty and Sandra Kling to attend an October conference in San Antonio was presented with its costs covered by the Seeding Innovations program; the board voted to approve the travel so staff could finalize arrangements.
The board agreed to consider a package of policy amendments as a single motion; members said most changes were minor wording updates or references to statute and recommended affirming them together.
The meeting was paused for a short break with additional readings and agenda items scheduled for future meetings.
