LaCrosse School District board approves capital-fund increase and routine consent items; payroll approved
Summary
The board approved a $600,000-to-$940,000 capital-fund increase and several consent items including certificated contract adjustments and position openings; finance staff said next year's budget is ready and the board approved payroll and bills. The transcript recorded a payroll amount that was unclear.
The LaCrosse School District Board voted May 18 to approve a staff-requested extension of a capital-fund line item and to clear a slate of routine consent items, including certificated contract adjustments and new position openings.
District staff told the board they need to increase a previously budgeted capital line from $600,000 to $940,000 to cover additional work tied to a grant. "To increase it to 940,000," a staff member said when presenting Resolution 25-26-06. A board member moved to approve the resolution; the motion was seconded and the board approved the measure.
The board also approved several consent-agenda personnel items. Staff reported one certificated employee will drop one class and move from a seven-hour to a six-and-a-half-hour role (described in the meeting as a .867 position), and the board approved the certificated contract change. The board approved position openings for bus driver, custodial and paraprofessional roles after staff described a draft schedule and the intended allocation of intervention duties to new aides.
Finance staff said the proposed next fiscal-year budget has been completed and will be circulated to board members next month. The board moved to approve May payroll and June bills; the motion passed. The numeric amount read aloud in the transcript was unclear and could not be confirmed from the meeting recording.
