The Hackberry Elementary School District #3 Governing Board met at Cedar Hills School on Feb. 10 and reviewed district finances, audit timing and a slate of FY27 plans and personnel items.
Business Manager Sam Dell told the board the district’s cash-on-hand increased between Dec. 31, 2025, and Jan. 31, 2026, citing a $78,190.60 rise in the December general ledger and a $106,448.28 increase on the Mohave County Treasurer report. Dell also reported that results of the FY24 and FY25 financial audits are expected to be delivered at the regular April 2026 board meeting.
The board approved routine consent items including the Jan. 13, 2026 meeting minutes, a donor thank-you list, accounts payable vouchers (2675, 2676, 2677) and payroll vouchers (2619, 2620). Board members asked for and received clarification about a recent payment to Ricoh for the district copy machine prior to approving the payables.
On new business, the board approved the FY27 Employee Compensation plan (motion by Tammy Herrera, second by Pam Adams) by a unanimous 5-0 vote. The FY27 Classroom Site Fund plan was approved after debate and passed 4-1 (Pam Adams moved; Valerie Grimes seconded). The meeting record does not name the dissenting voter.
The board also approved several high-school-related policies — IKF (graduation requirements), IKG (credit for courses completed at non-district schools) and IKFA (early graduation) — and policy updates to DIE and DIE-R; those motions passed unanimously.
