District says 31a funding will not arrive this year; lawsuit under appeal
Summary
Administrators told the board that the district will not receive 31a funding this year; carryover funds exist but a court case that might have released funds is under appeal and prospects of success appear low, prompting finance-committee follow-up.
District staff updated the board that the district will not receive 31a funding this year and that the matter hinges on a court case currently under appeal. The administrator said the district has carryover funds it must spend this year and that the appeal—s chances of succeeding appear limited.
"We aren't getting any funding. That's basically the bottom line for 31a," the staff member said, noting an appeal is in process and attorneys view the likelihood of prevailing as low. The board was told finance committee will discuss concepts to backfill potential shortfalls and consider whether a budget amendment will be necessary in late January.
