Board approves $303,005.32 in July bills and budget revisions; finance staff flags enrollment and grant changes
Summary
The board approved July bills totaling $303,005.32 and approved budget revisions numbered 100–106 described in the finance report. Staff highlighted grants (early literacy, guidepost to graduation) and noted a projected FY26 fund balance around $1.8 million but warned of potential revenue loss if enrollment funding drops from 1,400 to 1,382 students.
Finance staff summarized closeout work for FY26 and recommended approval of July bills, reporting: "So total bills approval for the month, $303,005.32." The board approved payment of those bills by voice vote.
Staff highlighted a number of items in the bills: a partial payment for a state-required mapping grant, a payment for newly installed stage curtains at Norfolk Elementary, and a $27,000 renewal for Renaissance Learning software (with roughly $12,118 expected from an early-literacy grant). Staff also discussed the Huddl streaming subscription (noting the district pays the subscription and the high school reimburses about half when appropriate) and suggested a follow-up presentation on utilization and revenue.
The finance report included budget revision items described in the presentation as totaling roughly $290,845 for supplements numbered 100–106, but the motion language as read into the record listed "$290,008.45." The board approved the revisions; the transcript reflects both figures in discussion. Staff also estimated a year-end fund balance of about $1.8 million for FY26 but cautioned that state funding formulas and lower enrollment (1,382 funded students vs. a 1,400 'floor') could reduce future revenues.
The board asked clarifying questions about Huddl costs and revenue sharing and noted continued attention to special-education funding at the state level.
