North Cape board reviews preliminary budget, approves routine financial motions and authorizes sale of obsolete tech
Summary
Board members heard a preliminary 2025–26 budget with stable mill rate and increased special-education funding; they approved financials, payroll/disbursements, and authorized sale of obsolete technology to be recorded to fund source 200s.
At its July 21 meeting the North Cape School District Board of Education reviewed the preliminary 2025–26 budget and approved routine financial items.
Dr. Lehnen said the state 2025–27 budget had been approved and that special-education funding was increased; federal grant payments and Title grants are delayed, affecting approximately $80,000 in revenue with no firm timeline. The board reported ETF notices indicating health insurance premium changes of roughly 2–6 percent. Administration described the overall budget as close to last year with a largely stable mill rate.
Treasurer Ryan Menken reported auditors would conduct final field work for the 2024–25 year and that revenues were slightly higher than budget while some expenditures were offset by committed funds. The board voted to approve the financials as presented (motion by Keith Jacobson, second by Ryan Malchine) and approved payroll and disbursement checks (motion by Dan Hying, second by Keith Jacobson); minutes record those motions as carried.
The board also approved a policy to allow sale of obsolete technology (for example, Chromebooks) and directed that revenue be recorded to fund source 200s. The board set the annual meeting date for Oct. 27, 2025, and adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
The minutes record motions, seconds and outcomes for most financial items; specific dollar amounts for the projects discussed elsewhere in the meeting were not included in the minutes.
