Central High District projects and proposition numbering clarified at committee report
Summary
A committee report summarized Central High School District plans — a 3.32% budget-to-budget increase with a 2.82% tax-levy increase within the cap — and outlined summer facility projects including a locker-room reconstruction and Kennedy High School auditorium and track upgrades; board staff clarified how propositions are numbered across different school ballots.
During the reports of committees, a board member summarized the Central High School District meeting held April 2 and highlighted county champion athletes and district capital projects. The report cited the Central proposal's 3.32% budget-to-budget increase and a 2.82% tax-levy increase that remains within the tax cap.
The committee report listed summer projects already approved from last year's budget and new items on the ballot, including middle school locker-room reconstruction, Kennedy High School auditorium sound and lighting upgrades, and track resurfacing. The board member said Proposition 5 (on that district's ballot) would fund renovations at Calhoun High School (library roof replacement, auditorium curtain replacement, boiler work, gym ceiling repairs and new heavy curtains in place of wood partitions).
A board member asked how the proposition numbering appears on ballots across buildings; Joanne answered that each school's propositions run first for that school and that numbering may differ between buildings (for example, the high school budget in one district could appear as proposition 4 on a consolidated ballot). The report closed by reminding members that the high school budget hearing is May 7 and the Central budget vote is May 20.
