Starmont board approves $181,061.85 SBRC request to cover special-education shortfall
Summary
The Starmont Community School District board approved a request to the School Budget Review Committee seeking a negative special-education balance of $181,061.85 (subject to Department of Management adjustment) on a 5-0 roll-call vote Oct. 13.
The Starmont Community School District Board voted unanimously Oct. 13 to seek approval from the School Budget Review Committee (SBRC) for a negative special-education balance of $181,061.85.
The motion was offered by board member Doug Puffett, seconded by Vicki Althoff, and the roll call recorded ayes from Tony Recker, Doug Puffett, Julie Uhlenkamp, Vicki Althoff and Jacob Moellers. The motion description in the minutes states the amount may be adjusted by the Department of Management.
Nut graf: The SBRC request acknowledges a special-education funding shortfall that the district plans to address administratively through state review and adjustment rather than an immediate local-policy change. The board’s approval initiates the formal process to seek state authorization to carry the deficit.
The board did not provide further line-item breakdown of the deficit in the meeting minutes. Next steps include submission of the SBRC request and any follow-up documentation the Department of Management requires; administration indicated adjustments could be made by that state department.
