Chawanakee trustees approve 2024–25 unaudited actuals, will seek waiver after falling under teacher-salary threshold
Summary
Trustees unanimously approved the district's 2024–25 unaudited actuals and voted to submit a county waiver after reporting district spending on classroom teacher salaries fell below the 55% threshold required by state rules.
Chawanakee Unified School District trustees unanimously approved the district's 2024–25 unaudited actuals and directed staff to file an exemption waiver after officials reported the district fell below the state's 55% required threshold for classroom teacher salary expenditures. The motion to adopt the unaudited actuals was made by Trustee Elisabeth Parish, seconded by Trustee Jack Thornburg, and passed on a unanimous vote.
Chief Business Officer Melissa Kielpinski summarized the financial statements and multi-year projections, answering trustees' questions about enrollment assumptions and liabilities. Kielpinski said the district "came in under the 55% required" and confirmed staff will "be submitting a waiver to the County." Trustees asked whether neighboring districts faced similar pressures; Kielpinski said she would research comparisons and clarified the district has no imminent large liability other than remaining bus lease payments.
