Summary

Staff told the committee that routing local dollars through the interlocal agreement would make roughly $423,000 eligible for charter allocations and push the district's fund-balance assignment from about $1.7 million (Option A) to about $2.1 million (Option B).

Miss McLean (Speaker 3) told the committee that the interlocal agreement requires accounting for charter-school allocations from any additional local dollars. She said that allocation is "about 423,000," and that incorporating that requirement increases the district's projected need to assign fund balance under Option B to roughly $2,100,000.

Committee members pressed Miss McLean on whether the interlocal funds would be time-limited and how a one-time teacher-assistant bonus would affect recurring costs. She warned that separating one-year interlocal funds from the district's supplement accounts would be administratively difficult and that recurring implications would need to be built into the 2027–28 budget.
