Board gets first look at Fund 80 budget increases; trustees ask for tightened numbers
Summary
Staff presented proposed Fund 80 increases (early childhood coordinator, expanded after-school supports, graduation specialist and SRO costs) and explained levy mechanics and reserves; trustees requested a detailed budget breakdown before considering any levy adjustments.
Staff walked trustees through the Fund 80 levy mechanics and proposed increases tied to the four strategies. The packet and slides, staff said, show the 2023–24 levy components and how reserves affect next-year levy asks; staff noted the prior-year Fund 80 levy totaled $1,395,000 and that some categories have reserve carryforward that can offset proposed increases.
Estimated incremental costs presented included a six-figure increase for out-of-school programming (site consolidation and expansions), $65,000 incremental funding for an additional graduation specialist (not the full salary), and roughly $105,000 to add an SRO (district share). Trustees emphasized the need to compare present partner-funded baseline service levels with proposed Fund 80 commitments, and asked staff to return with an itemized budget and grant/partner-commitment matrix before any formal levy decision.
