Trustees hear details on salary, benefits and capital driving FY25 spending increases
Summary
Administration told the board that salary and benefit increases ($1.03M) and capital expenditures ($778K) explain much of the FY25 expenditure increase; some capital purchases were paid with COVID relief funds.
Executive Director Dubahn told the board that a $1.03 million increase in salaries and benefits and approximately $778,000 in capital spending account for much of the $2.37 million increase in projected FY25 expenditures. The administration said some capital costs — including new elementary furniture — were funded through COVID relief dollars.
Board members asked for line-item detail on staff increases, substitutes and grant-funded positions that contributed to the higher personnel costs. Trustees requested follow-up materials showing which positions are ongoing budget obligations versus those paid temporarily with grant or COVID-relief funding.
