WARREN CO. R-III board approves policies, curriculum alignment and a data‑integration contract; finance update shows fund balance decline
Summary
After a monthly finance report showing roughly $300,000 lower revenues and a drop in fund balance to ~40%, the board approved the consent agenda, amended and approved board policy BCCA, approved library curriculum alignment, and authorized a 12‑month data services contract for Infinite Campus integration.
The board received a finance update and approved several routine items and one new contract.
Finance presenter Greg said revenues are about $300,000 lower than expected compared with last year and that expenses are higher due to salary increases, benefits and special‑education costs; fund balance is reported at about 40%, down from 46% a year earlier. Capital project reserves and remaining bond proceeds were discussed; Greg said approximately $2 million is allocated for capital projects and about $14 million remains in the bond fund (including an expected $4 million for MODOT‑related work).
On actions, the board moved and passed the consent agenda by voice vote. Members debated and approved an amendment to policy BCCA, removing the sentence that "the board prefers to appoint members who have at least two years of board member experience;" the amendment passed and the board then approved the policies as amended. The board also approved an update to library instructional guidance that aligns district materials to the curriculum policy.
Finally, the board approved a 12‑month contract with the district's custom computer specialists to provide Infinite Campus data integration and security services beginning in July. Board discussion noted a prior vendor relationship between CIC and Infinite Campus ended and that the new arrangement is intended to secure teacher and parent access to consolidated academic, attendance and behavioral data. The motion passed by voice vote; contract-specific terms and annual license fees were discussed but not itemized in the meeting record.
No roll call vote totals were recorded in the transcript; approvals were by voice vote.
