CCASD board flags Impact Aid and SRS uncertainty; announces private and partner support
Summary
Board President Cheryl Mango‑Paget warned that Secure Rural Schools (SRS) had passed the Senate but not the House and urged planning for operations without that funding; the district also noted NREL funding and a $13,000 private donation for workforce development plus planned air‑quality equipment installations.
President Cheryl Mango‑Paget told the board the district is watching multiple funding streams that may affect operations. She said Secure Rural Schools funding passed the Senate but not the House and that staff should plan to continue without that funding; she also expressed concern about possible impacts to the district from changes to federal Impact Aid funding.
Mango‑Paget said the district had received NREL funding and a private donation of $13,000 earmarked for workforce development. She described planned technical installations: Komfort will install lighting, Rensair will add air purification and monitoring, and CBRE will install Blue Frontier air conditioners for testing and possible donation to the school building. The board discussed how those partnerships and donations could support operations while some federal funds remain uncertain.
