Deputy Superintendent Bates previewed a monthly financial-accountability template that will report FTEs, payroll actuals and enrollment; the district will present the dashboard to the board and make it public starting on the 11th.

Deputy Superintendent Bates walked trustees through a new monthly financial-accountability template that will display total adopted FTEs ("So we have 7,056," he said), current vacancies, projected payroll actuals and daily enrollment counts that will be finalized on the 11th. Bates said the adopted salary figure across funds is $4,463,000,000 and the template will help the board monitor position control and vacancy-driven lapse savings.

Doctor Lusk and other trustees supported publishing data for public transparency; Lusk noted the district is building a public-facing dashboard and Bates said he would demonstrate it on the 11th. Trustees asked staff to include clear explanations of the data and to double-check automated and manual inputs before posting to ensure community confidence.
