Board approves warrants and 2nd interim report; staff flags special‑education cost pressures
Summary
Trustees approved monthly warrants and the district's 24–25 second interim financial report, which staff said allows the district to self-certify as 'positive' and highlighted declines in restricted COVID-era funds and ongoing special-education cost pressures.
The board approved the monthly warrants and heard the business official's 24–25 second interim report. Staff explained the second interim covers activity through Dec. 31 and that the district can self-certify as "positive," meaning it expects to meet obligations through 2026–27 under current assumptions.
The business official discussed enrollment and ADA trends (average ADA cited at 772 with enrollment near 803), noted restricted funds have declined since COVID-era one-time funding and emphasized that special-education costs remain a concern: "we receive around, 300,000 for special ed, but our budget is 1,800,000," she said, describing the gap between revenues and the district's special-education expenditures. Trustees asked about temporary positions funded with one-time money and the potential for future grant funding; staff said they will pursue reimbursement opportunities such as the county's special needs pool for some due-process legal costs.
