Summary

Staff presented a monthly P2P enrollment report and a payroll analysis showing average payroll of $187,597 and accounts payable average $49,247, producing a payroll-and-AP share of 79.2% of statements used in the calculation; board noted staffing and funding context ahead of certificated bargaining.

Staff shared the district’s P2P enrollment report submitted to OSPI and explained apportionment basics that influence state funding. The report covered K–12 headcount (preschool excluded since it is not state‑funded) and noted the district had recently added five students after the reported run date.

On the budgeting side, staff said: "our payroll, through last month was a $187,597, and AP average was $49,247... So I took payroll, and I divided that by the total, and it gave me a percentage of 79.2%." Directors noted the district aims to keep payroll and benefits at or below 80% of operating receipts and discussed implications for upcoming certificated bargaining.
