Administrator tells board 31a funds are not coming this year; lawsuit under appeal
Summary
District administration told the board that 31a funding will not be available this year; carryover funds exist, and a court case that might have unlocked funds is under appeal with limited hopes for success, administration said.
The district's administrator reported that 31a funding will not be released to the district this year. The administrator said the district will rely on existing carryover funds for the current year and that a court case which might have unlocked additional funds is being appealed but appears unlikely to succeed, according to comments to the board.
"We aren't getting any funding. That's basically the bottom line for 31a," the administrator said, adding that the lawsuit is under appeal and that even the attorney who filed the appeal was "being very realistic" about the chances of winning. The administrator said finance‑committee follow‑up will consider concepts to backfill the shortfall.
Board members were reminded of a finance committee meeting scheduled for Jan. 26 at 6:00 p.m. to review potential budget adjustments; the transcript does not include legal filings or detailed fiscal numbers beyond the general description of carryover funds and the appeal.
