School division gets $727,538.15 carryover and other grant approvals
Summary
The board approved a $727,538.15 budget adjustment (carryover) for school grant programs, plus two additional pass‑through items including a $57,179.69 item; the school representative highlighted gains — graduation above 90% and dropouts down to about 5% — and described the program purposes.
The board approved three school actions that included a $727,538.15 budget adjustment representing carry‑over grant funds for programs including the School Community grant and ISAEP (alternative education/GED supports); a second pass‑through item of $57,179.69 was also approved. The school representative told the board the grants support attendance initiatives, GED services for qualifying students and other carryover activities tied to student retention and graduation efforts.
"Our graduation rate increased to above 90 percent this past year... our dropout rate decreased from 12 percent to 5 percent," the school representative told the board, underscoring progress the division said resulted from targeted instructional and attendance work. The motions to approve the budget adjustment and the listed grant items passed by voice vote. The board and school staff said the items are pass‑through in nature and will be accounted for in upcoming financial reports.
