Board tables decision on elementary after‑school daycare pending financial report
Summary
Board members discussed the elementary after‑school daycare program and requested a detailed revenue/expenditure report to be emailed to members; further action was tabled until the Jan. 13, 2025 meeting.
At the Dec. 16 meeting of the Southwest Public Schools Board of Education, board member John O'Dea led a discussion about the elementary after‑school daycare program and asked the administration to provide a detailed financial report. The board did not decide on any program changes and tabled further discussion until the Jan. 13, 2025 meeting.
O'Dea asked board members to voice concerns and called for clearer financial information before any policy or operational changes. Superintendent Drew Billeter confirmed staff will prepare and email a report showing revenue and expenditures for the program. No motions to reduce, expand or otherwise change the program were made; the board specifically postponed action until it has the financial data.
Why it matters: The daycare program has operational and budget implications for the elementary school and affects families who use after‑school care. The board's request for a financial report signals that any future decision will be guided by program cost and revenue details.
What happens next: Staff will email the requested revenue/expenditure report to board members; the matter is scheduled for further discussion at the Jan. 13, 2025 board meeting in Bartley.
