Udall USD 463 board adopts 2024–25 budget, approves 32% Local Option Budget
Summary
At its Sept. 9 meeting, the Udall Unified School District #463 Board of Education adopted the 2024–25 budget and a 32% Local Option Budget percentage, and approved multiple curriculum and program purchases; votes on motions were unanimous as recorded.
The Udall Unified School District #463 Board of Education voted Sept. 9 to adopt the district’s 2024–25 budget and to authorize a Local Option Budget (LOB) percentage of 32% for the year. The board recorded both approvals as passing unanimously by the vote tally noted in the minutes.
Board member Andrea Ahlerich moved to adopt the proposed 2024–25 budget following earlier reviews of needs assessments and state assessment data; Clayton Bishop seconded, and the motion passed 6-0. Later in the meeting, Scott Eilers moved to adopt a Local Option Budget percentage of 32% for the 2024–25 school year; Andrea Ahlerich seconded and that resolution passed 6-0.
Why it matters: Adopting the budget and setting the Local Option Budget percentage finalizes the district’s spending plan and local revenue authority for the coming school year and determines how the district will prioritize staffing, curriculum and operations during 2024–25.

The meeting minutes record motions and outcomes but do not provide line-item budget amounts beyond those items presented for single approvals (for example, the $9,815 AC quote). Where the minutes list only a tally rather than roll-call votes, the article reports the recorded tallies as stated in the minutes.
The board adjourned at 7:26 PM; the minutes are noted as unofficial until approved at the board’s next regular meeting.
