District reports enrollment growth, flags changes to specific grant funding
Summary
Heidi told the board the district’s K‑12 enrollment rose about 50 students year‑over‑year but month‑to‑month figures are volatile; the business manager noted adjustments to IDEA, 21st Century and SIA funding and a roughly $45,000 decrease in corporate activity tax allocations.
District administrators reported net student enrollment growth while also flagging recent funding adjustments that could affect near‑term budget planning.
Heidi said the district recorded about 360 students last month and 353 this month and expects the number to settle around 350 during the year, representing approximately a 50‑student increase over last year. The business manager clarified that some federal funds are held and noted two key grant figures in the discussion: IDEA special‑education funding (described as a little more than $100,000) and the district’s 21st Century before‑and‑after‑school program funds (about $75,000). The district also reported a reduction of roughly $45,000 in state SIA/high‑school success funds tied to corporate activity tax receipts.
Board members were told administrators are prioritizing claiming available funds promptly because state or federal timing changes could affect cash flow. No specific cuts or program eliminations were proposed at the meeting; administrators said they would continue monitoring revenues and adjust planning as necessary.
