Enrollment dips slightly; state per-student funding increase adds ~$750,000 for district
Summary
Director of Finance Tom Andrews reported a seven-student decline and that state per-student funding rose from $11,209 to $11,290, adding about $750,000 to this fiscal year; he also flagged an estimated $500,000–$700,000 cost for a high-school chiller replacement and noted Robert Frost repair reimbursements.
Tom Andrews, the district’s director of finance, told the board the district saw a decline of seven students since the prior month and that the state support amount per pupil increased from $11,209 to $11,290, which he said “amounts to an increase of $750,000 for this year.”
Andrews also reported capital items: Robert Frost repairs totaled about $120,000 with approximately $55,000 reimbursed by insurance, and Silverton High School chiller replacement estimates range from $500,000 to $700,000. He said the district has capital-reserve funds and that monies previously budgeted for food services (after moving away from Sodexo) might be reallocated. Andrews noted uncertainty about high-cost disability funding and said he would report once that figure is known.
The finance report tied directly to the board’s funding decision on the health curriculum: contingency funds are available and will be used to purchase the curricula approved at this meeting. The minutes do not include precise vendor or purchase figures for the curriculum procurement.
