Resident questions $2 million projected cost of new school police program; board points to prior presentation for details
Summary
At the July action meeting, public commenters pressed the board on district finances and the newly authorized school public-safety program, asking where an estimated $2 million-per-year cost would be funded; the superintendent said expense details are in a prior presentation and offered to share them.
Public commenter Jason Linnea asked the board to explain the long-term cost and funding source for the district's new school public-safety program, saying, "it seems like it's gonna be about $2,000,000 per year" once fully implemented and asking where the money will come from.
The superintendent (Dr. Bauer) responded that the Office of Public Safety expenses are outlined in slide 12 of a prior presentation and offered to share that material with the commenter and discuss the district's Keystone achievement data. The exchange followed another public comment that flagged a large backlog of facility repairs and questioned spending priorities. No formal budget adjustment or funding source was identified during the meeting; the board directed staff to provide the requested slide information and to meet with the commenter after the session.
