Resident questions UPK seats, Cross of Christ contract and potential $55M bond; district provides details
Summary
A resident asked how many UPK seats exist and about the Cross of Christ agreement; the superintendent said 12 district students currently attend Cross of Christ, there are seven on the UPK wait list, and the board is considering a bond that could be about $55,000,000 structured to have no net tax increase.
During public participation, resident Evelyn Haendel asked whether the district had posted the relevant position and questioned details of an extension of the agreement with Cross of Christ. Superintendent Dr. Graham replied that 12 students from the district currently attend Cross of Christ and that the contract does not specify a set number of seats; Cross of Christ has told the district it cannot accommodate more at this time.
Haendel also asked about UPK wait lists, roof and field repairs, and a potential bond. Dr. Graham said there are "7 students currently on the wait list" for UPK and that the building committee is considering a bond proposition that could include roofs and field work. He said the bond could be "about $55,000,000" and that the district would seek to structure it so there is "no net increase in the debt" for taxpayers by replacing expiring debt.
