Summary

Superintendent Ludvigson told the board the negotiation team has discussed cutting the activity bus and 'Bolt' if the 21st Century grant is not received; he also said compensatory aid could drop if paper forms for free & reduced lunch are disallowed, forcing further cuts.

Superintendent Ludvigson told the board the district’s negotiation team met and discussed contingency plans should the 21st Century grant fail to materialize. He said possible reductions being considered include eliminating the activity bus and the 'Bolt' program if the grant is not received.

Ludvigson added that compensatory aid could decline substantially if the district is not allowed to use paper forms for free and reduced‑price lunch applications, which would further constrain the budget and require additional program cuts. The minutes record the superintendent’s warnings but do not provide dollar estimates or a formal action motion on cuts.
