Stanton County USD #452 board adopts 2024–25 budget as published

President Lettie McKinney called the Stanton County Unified School District #452 Board of Education to order at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 12 in the SCHS Board Room in Johnson, Kansas. Board members Lettie McKinney, Bobbie Ehrlich, Val Zumudio and Bret Kendrick were present; Administration was represented by Trenton Horn and Melissa Wilson served as board clerk.

After taking attendance, the board approved the meeting agenda. Bret Kendrick moved to approve the presented agenda and Val Zumudio seconded; the motion carried, 4-0. The board then opened the public comment period and recorded that there were no public comments.

President Lettie McKinney opened the budget hearing for the 2024–2025 fiscal year. During the subsequent action item, Bret Kendrick moved "to approve the 2024-2025 District Budget as published in the Johnson Pioneer newspaper." Bobbie Ehrlich seconded the motion, and the board adopted the budget by a 4-0 vote. The transcript records the motion and the vote but does not state the budget total, line-item breakdowns, or funding sources.

The board completed routine business and adjourned the special meeting at 5:58 p.m. following a motion by Bobbie Ehrlich and a second from Val Zumudio; that motion also carried 4-0. No public comments were recorded and no other actions or amendments to the budget were reported in the transcript.

The board did not specify next steps in the transcript; the budget was adopted "as published" in the Johnson Pioneer newspaper. Any additional documentation (adopted budget document, detailed hearing minutes or financials) was not included in the meeting transcript and is therefore not specified.
