Galena City School District board approves 2024–25 budget, shifts $1.5M to front‑end high‑school work
Summary
The Galena City School District Board approved the 2024–25 budget after a public‑hearing notice; administrators moved $1.5 million into the front end of the high‑school construction plan and reflected updated revenue estimates, with the measure passing by unanimous roll call.
The Galena City School District Board of Education approved the district’s 2024–25 budget on a unanimous roll call after a brief public‑hearing notice earlier in the meeting.
Board members voted to adopt the budget as presented; board members called the roll and the motion passed 6–0. The board had earlier announced the tentative budget was on file and available for public inspection and scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 17, 2024.
Administrators said recent revenue updates are reflected in the final document, including corporate property tax receipts of about $333,000, slightly below earlier projections. The budget includes an additional $1.5 million advanced into the front end of the district’s high‑school capital plan to pre‑purchase precast panels for the gym, bringing capital projects in the plan to roughly $8.5 million. Staff also noted modest new staffing to serve increased special‑population needs.
Board members made the motion to approve and carried it by roll call. The district will proceed under the adopted budget for fiscal 2024–25 and staff will return with any required implementation details at future meetings.
