Superintendent flags special‑ed caseload work and a roughly $765,000 rural water estimate
Summary
Superintendent Robert Busch told the board he is determining special‑education caseloads and that tying the district to rural water would require a 6‑inch line across about 6.7 miles with an estimated cost of roughly $765,000; he also said the district is exploring a mental‑health grant.
Superintendent Robert Busch updated the Starmont Community School District Board at the May 12 meeting that administration is working to determine each special‑education teacher’s caseload and to assign students accordingly, and that the district is exploring a potential mental‑health grant to support services.
Busch reported the district has examined the logistics of connecting to rural water service and estimated the project would require running a 6‑inch water line approximately 6.7 miles, with an estimated cost of roughly $765,000. He presented the estimate to the board as part of broader facilities and infrastructure planning; the board did not take a funding vote on the item at the meeting.
The superintendent’s remarks signal two follow‑up items for administration: finalize special‑education caseload assignments and continue exploring grant options for mental‑health supports, and further investigate funding and timeline options should the board choose to pursue the rural water connection.
