Staff: forest reserve funding not received this year; board to get allocation details for small rural schools
Summary
Board members asked about small rural school funding and a forest reserve calculation; staff said the forest reserve distribution 'ceased this year' and committed to return with exact allocations and how many districts are affected.
Board members flagged a question about federal and state funding for small rural schools and the forest reserve; county staff explained the forest reserve fund allocation and said the county did not receive the expected distribution this year.
A county staff speaker explained the forest reserve calculation and told the board, "That funding ceased this year." The staff member said they would bring a report to the next board meeting showing the last allocation distribution, which districts were affected and how much each received.
Board members asked whether the amount is significant and how many small rural schools exist in the county; staff said definitions vary by program and that they would research the precise definitions and return with specifics rather than guessing in the meeting.
