Summary

Staff said the district will transfer $200,000 from reserves to the general fund, move $100,000 to capital or food service, accept an ASB transfer to pay for Mac High gym floor and locker-room work, and buy one propane midsize bus with a wheelchair lift to be delivered in July.

District staff outlined planned capital moves and transportation purchases for 2025–26. Denise said the district will transfer $200,000 from its first reserve to help offset first-year costs, and that a $100,000 transfer is budgeted to capital projects or the food service fund. She also described a new transfer from ASB to the general fund to fund a Mac High gym-floor revamp and an away-team locker room.

On transportation, staff said the transportation replacement fund budget is $300,000 this year because the district will purchase one bus (a midsize propane bus with a wheelchair lift) rather than two. “Our next bus was actually ordered almost 2 years ago, and it's coming in July,” a staff member said; staff noted long lead times for bus ordering and that depreciation from the fleet helps fund the replacement program.
