Red Rock board approves increase to athletic coaches’ stipends; trustees discuss funding sources
Summary
On Nov. 20 the Red Rock Elementary School District board approved an increase to coaches’ stipends (2-0). Board members discussed covering the cost through M&O funds, tax-credit donations, fundraising and potential fee increases; exact stipend amounts were not specified in the minutes.
The Red Rock Elementary School District No. 5 board on Nov. 20 approved an increase to athletic coaches’ stipends and recorded discussion about how the district will cover the added cost.
The motion to increase coaches’ stipends was moved by Luis Vargas, seconded by Kayti Kahn, and approved 2-0. The minutes record that Kayti Kahn asked whether the district can cover the cost of the increase and whether it would be permanent. Peter Dwyer explained that the Athletics Program is supplemented by the district’s M&O fund, that league costs and other expenditures are not fully covered by student fees, and that the district receives tax-credit donations and plans to pursue fundraising and corporate sponsorships; the minutes note the need to work toward bringing the program into the black.
The minutes indicate stipends can be reviewed annually but also observe that once paid, raises can be difficult to reverse. The record does not specify dollar amounts for the stipend increase, exact timing of payments, or whether any budget amendment was made; those details are not specified in the minutes.
Board members also approved other items on the consent agenda and set the next meeting for Dec. 18, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.
