Summary

District staff presented three supplemental budget requests — a COPS safety and security grant, facility assessment technical assistance funds, and a seismic assessment grant — and explained the need to appropriate those incoming funds.

Staff told the board they will ask voters to appropriate three supplemental budgets to account for newly awarded grant funds that were not in the original budget. The first is a COPS safety and security grant to pay for enhanced security measures including video, secure doors and IP speakers; staff said it is a multi-year award intended to increase school security.

Two other supplemental items were described as facility-assessment technical assistance funds and seismic assessment technical assistance funds to fund planning and capital-assessment work. Staff emphasized appropriating the grants on the next consent agenda so the district can claim and use the funds.
