Committee member (speaker 7) said the district expects a roughly 17.5% increase in property and liability insurance and estimated the total increase at about $47,000. The speaker also previewed two supplemental budgets: a staff stipend grant (37 qualifying staff to receive roughly $445 each, with related payroll costs borne by the general fund) and a safety/security grant totaling $118,005.74 to fund visitor management systems, video intercoms, IP speakers, and other security technology (spendable through September 2027).
