Summary

Superintendent presented budget context and asked whether the district should proceed with design work for a possible high school addition; board members agreed to continue the design process so the district is ready if the project proceeds.

During administrative reports Superintendent Brian Rentsch reviewed consolidation considerations tied to district budget, property tax reform, 2020 levy funds and ESSER funds, and presented a list of state bills under discussion (including HB 455, HB 625, HB 661 and several Senate bills). He raised the question of whether the district should proceed with developing a design set for a potential high school addition so the work is ready if the board decides to move forward.

The minutes state that “all the board members agreed to continue with the process since the addition is our ultimate goal.” The discussion was framed as a planning step rather than an authorization to bid or appropriate construction funds; no contract award or spending authorization was recorded at this meeting. The board directed staff to continue with the design process so the district will have plans available should it decide to advance the project in the future.
