Enterprise City Schools board approves $515,000 budget amendment and multiple consent items
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the board approved a $515,000 amendment to the 2025–26 budget, citing late federal and state allocations, and approved a package of routine consent items including a FiveStar Credit Union agreement, a Kelly Education pricing update, TEAMS contracts, Flashlight Learning for EL students and several facilities and technology quotes.
The Enterprise City Schools board on June 9 approved a final 2025–26 budget amendment that increases the district's budget by $515,000 to align with federal and state allocations that arrived after the September budget filing.
"The net result is an increase to our budget of $515,000," Dr. Thomas told the board, saying the amendment mainly consolidates late federal and state allocations. He noted a $160,000 grant awarded in February to support English-learner aides as a significant late addition to the district's funding picture.
The board approved the amendment by voice vote after a motion and second. The same meeting approved multiple consent items bundled together: a logo-use agreement with FiveStar Credit Union related to an educator perks program presented earlier; an updated pricing agreement with Kelly Education (Kelly Services), the district's subprovider for substitutes and support staff; renewal of TEAMS (teacher excellence and accountability) contracts; the 2026–27 employee handbook; curriculum and instructional renewal quotes; a child nutrition pricing update; several maintenance and technology quotes; and special-education playground quotes for a WCAT-accessible playground at Brookwood.
A federal programs representative described districtwide gains after one year of using Flashlight Learning, which was also approved as part of the consent agenda. "As you can see from the district stat sheet provided by Ms. Hardrick, we are seeing phenomenal growth districtwide in just one year of implementing the program," the district's federal programs director said.
Personnel action items — transfers, resignations, new hires and supplements — were approved as presented. The board also approved a suspension recommendation for an employee identified in the meeting packet; the transcript records the motion, second and approval but the employee's name and the number of suspension days were recorded only in the packet and not read aloud.
Board members closed the meeting by noting graduation outcomes: 494 graduates, 116 honor graduates, a class average GPA of 3.43 and a total of 15,280 college credits earned by the class of 2026. The meeting did not include roll-call tallies for the consent votes; items were approved by voice/hand-raise as routine consent business.
