Chevelon Butte School District adopts FY25/26 budget, approves $39,000 contract and insurance renewal
Summary
At its June 19 meeting the Chevelon Butte School District (4198) Governing Board unanimously adopted the FY25/26 budget, approved a $39,000 contract with SS Elite Construction (including requested fiber) and renewed TRUST insurance with cyber liability.
The Chevelon Butte School District (4198) Governing Board voted unanimously on June 19 to adopt its fiscal year 2025–26 budget and to approve a $39,000 construction contract and an insurance renewal that includes cyber liability.
Board President Christina Eng called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. and recorded four members present. Administrative Operations Manager Angela Plantholt presented the proposed budget and described the items before the board. "The proposed budget was presented as written," Plantholt said; after discussion Board member Amy Snodgrass moved to approve the budget and Board member Judy MullikinFernandez seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The budget vote comes as district leadership works to finalize figures ahead of the June 30 budget deadline, a point Board member Amy Snodgrass emphasized in her report on state legislation. "HB2610 has passed," Snodgrass said, and she noted the Arizona School Boards Association has urged local education agencies that oppose the measure to pursue veto options.
Plantholt also presented a bid from SS Elite Construction for $39,000, which she said "includes the fiber that was requested at the last meeting." Dr. Laurie Hawke moved to approve the contract and MullikinFernandez seconded; the board voted unanimously to accept the contract. The board also approved the district's FY25/26 TRUST insurance premium, including the cyber liability coverage the board requested; Dr. Hawke moved and Ms. Snodgrass seconded the motion.
On routine business the board approved the consent agenda, which included accounts payable vouchers #2526 for $2,856.75 and #2527 for $4,950.17 and payroll vouchers #23 ($10,442.73), #24 ($10,318.06) and #25 ($11,942.43). Superintendent Mr. Brownfield delivered a brief state board update and said that the state board report he reviewed "mostly consists of fights about the ESA handbook." The Transportation Manager reported the electrical lighting project is about 98% complete but noted an electrician still needs to hook up about 15 receptacles; the manager also said Blue Ridge is expected to provide three high school student drivers next year so far.
The meeting closed after members set items for the next meeting, including formal budget adoption language and a work study on logo, the strategic plan and evaluation tools. Ms. Judy MullikinFernandez moved to adjourn at 4:38 p.m.; Dr. Laurie Hawke seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The next regular meeting is scheduled for July 10, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. at the Blue Ridge Community Church.
