Wapello board seeks $16,995 supplemental growth to cover special-education deficit
Summary
District staff asked the board to request the School Budget Review Committee modify supplemental allowable-growth for $16,995 to cover a special-education deficit; board discussion noted the option to levy those dollars later during spring budget decisions.
District staff told the board the specially funded spending for special education was in a deficit position of $16,995 and asked the board to request that the School Budget Review Committee modify the supplemental amount (allowable growth) so the district can capture that growth for the current year.
A staff member explained the process: if the board asks to modify the supplemental amount now and later decides in the spring to levy the dollars, it may do so; if it does not pursue the levy, capturing the growth now preserves the opportunity for the district for the rest of the fiscal year. The staff member requested the board approve the $16,995 supplemental request and forward it to the state review committee.
The transcript records the request and discussion but does not include a formal roll-call vote or recorded tally. The board did not record an immediate, detailed decision in the meeting transcript provided; staff indicated the matter will be pursued through the School Budget Review Committee process.
