Summary

A staff member reported that budget status reports show the district is on track and slightly under budget for this point in the year; board members noted upcoming expenditures and discussed the athletics cooperative's implications for band participation.

A staff member told the board that budget status reports are on page 3 of the packet and said the district is "right on track, if not even, like, a little under budget right now, for this time in the year." Board members heard that all funds are currently in good shape but were reminded that known upcoming expenditures remain.

A board member added that the 2024–25 budget is in better shape than anticipated five months into the school year but cautioned that expenditures are coming up that were budgeted. The same board member raised the athletics cooperative as a practical concern, noting that leaving the coop could exclude the band; they said band participation constitutes about "85% of high school kids" and recommended further discussion with neighboring superintendents and athletic directors before making a change.

The report concluded without formal budget motions recorded in the transcript; staff said routine monitoring and follow‑up will continue and a grant closeout resolution for the Lehi/water grant is expected next month.
