Board approves FY27 capital projects and consent agenda; hires Elaine Despari as principal
Summary
The Park City School District board approved the FY27 capital budget, including a $3.2 million contribution to the Dozier project, and approved the consent agenda that included the hire of Elaine Despari as principal at Trailside Elementary effective July 1; both actions passed by voice vote.
District financial and facilities staff presented the FY27 capital project recommendations and requested board approval to prefund priority summer projects. The budget presentation included a total capital budget reference (about $11 million), a $3.2 million district contribution toward the Dozier project and an estimated $1.9 million historically allocated to other construction projects; staff said the package balances requests against constrained reserves.
The board held brief discussion on project timing, the phone system replacement (noted as approximately $250,000), and how technology needs are supported through transfers from operations to capital. Staff said prioritized (blue) projects would get a head start this year so work can be completed while school is in session.
A motion to approve the FY27 capital requests was made and approved by voice vote. The transcript records the motion to approve the capital budget and the chair calling for the voice vote; the board responded "Aye." The district noted the capital package includes contingency and repair line items and that a five‑year facilities plan is being developed to sequence future needs.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved the consent agenda, which included routine minutes, curriculum items, trust plan amendments and travel requests. A personnel addition recommended the hire of Elaine Despari as principal at Trailside Elementary School, effective July 1; the consent agenda was approved by voice vote.
