Summary

District facilities staff presented a modernization fund balance of $9,838,865, explained current plant/facility fund balances and near‑term spending availability, and outlined utility and custodial expense pressures that constrain discretionary spending.

The facilities presentation summarized the district’s Modernization Fund balance at $9,838,865.02 and a Facility Fund balance of $1,304,100.13, with the packet noting spending availability on the Plant Facility Levy for the current year of roughly $595,899.87 and an overall expense picture that includes utilities and custodial costs.

Presenters walked trustees through expense categories (utilities, custodial, repairs, salary/benefits) and explained that remaining spending would need to come from interest earned on the Modernization Fund or from general discretionary money. The packet highlighted options for covering salary costs, including reviewing funded FTEs versus actuals, cutting non‑required programming, or dipping into reserves.

Trustees also reviewed projected student enrollment figures used to plan staffing and capital needs: packet figures included a projected 2025–26 district total of 2,316 students versus snapshots of 2,340 earlier in 2024–25. Trustees asked for clarification on levy expirations (a supplemental levy shown to expire June 2026) and for prioritized facility projects matched to available funds.
