District budget amendment reflects grant reallocations and a new dean of students position
Summary
District staff outlined changes in grant funding and identified expenditure impacts, including new or increased allocations for several state and federal grants and the addition of another dean of students while converting some contracted roles to payroll.
Cassie told trustees the revised budget reflects a series of grant funding changes and related expenditure adjustments that together help explain the projected drawdown and some offsetting new resources.
She identified a little more than $1 million in reduced state aid tied to the absence of a foundation increase that had been included in the initial budget, and noted several grants ended or shifted allocations. New or increased allocations cited included a Title I regional assistance grant, an out‑of‑school time grant, and a one‑time Section 11b COVID‑19 allocation redistributed from other districts. On the expenditure side, Cassie said the district added another dean of students and moved some work from contracted services to payroll, causing certain personnel costs to rise while other contracted security costs at the middle school were reduced.
Cassie emphasized that some grant coding changed (instruction vs. support services) and that the district will continue to track allocations and return specifics to the board. Trustees asked which grants were ongoing vs. one‑time and whether programs funded by expiring grants will be sustained.
