Summary

The district's finance presenter told the board that final state numbers for 2024–25 increased transportation reimbursement to 80%, improving projected ending fund balances as the budget committee finalizes proposals for next fiscal year.

During the financial report, the district's finance presenter told the board that state reconciliations for 2024–25 raised the district's transportation reimbursement to 80 percent, a change that reduces the budget deficit carried into the upcoming year. "We did get the numbers for 24–25 ... which put us at 80% reimbursement for transportation," the presenter said, and said the office is projecting a positive ending fund balance based on that figure.

The presenter cautioned that the month's report was prepared early and some March transactions were not posted, and said supplemental reports will be provided for the budget committee to simplify board review. The board discussed earmarking and clearer reporting for athletic and student-body funds after several members said long-committed earmarks (for purchases such as wrestling mats) appeared to have disappeared from current allocations.
