Wapello board approves request for at-risk/dropout supplement of $12,383
Summary
The board approved a routine resolution to request a modified supplement for at-risk and dropout prevention funding; presenters said the district is eligible to request $12,383 under state formula rules.
The Wapello Community School District board approved a resolution to request a modified supplement amount for at-risk and dropout prevention funding, a routine annual action intended to secure additional spending authority if the district qualifies.
Presenters told the board the district is eligible to request $12,383. Board members discussed the state's formulas for at-risk weighting and noted that districts appear to be locked into earlier formula choices; one member said Wapello is on a 2.5% formula while neighboring districts may receive a 5% weight, which can affect available funds for programs such as resource officers and dropout prevention.
The board moved and approved the resolution by voice vote. No further allocation decisions were finalized at the meeting; staff will incorporate any additional funds into budget planning if the request is granted.
