Superintendent says budget is tracking; tuition rate changes and BRCTC enrollments save about $65,000
Summary
Superintendent Emily told the board the packet shows about 61% of the budget remaining (57% after recent AP warrants); tuition rates rose 1% for grades 6–8 and 5.4% for 9–12, and higher vocational enrollment at BRCTC is projected to save the district roughly $65,000.
Superintendent Emily reviewed financials and operational updates for the district. She told the board that the version of the packet on their desks shows roughly 61% of the budget remaining; after the accounts‑payable warrants that were just signed, she said, the remaining balance is about 57%.
Emily also summarized new tuition rates for this year: a 1% increase for grades 6–8 and a 5.4% increase for grades 9–12; the board had budgeted a 4% increase overall with two extra students per grade band and enrollment matched expectations. She said vocational placements at BRCTC carry a lower tuition cost compared with high‑school tuition, and "it looks like we're gonna save about $65,000," funds that could offset unexpected costs or be applied to carryover.
Emily reminded the board she had added paid‑family‑medical‑leave line items across cost centers in the packet; those lines display as negative (parentheses) because funds are held in placeholders and will be reconciled with auditors. She said auditors will reallocate entries at the close of the audit process.
