Summary

The board reviewed a preliminary capital outlay budget showing about $220,000 in proposed reserve spending, plans to purchase buses/vehicles next fiscal year (around $200,000), playground overhaul estimates ($20,000–$40,000) and roof replacements near $100,000.

District leaders presented a preliminary capital outlay that currently proposes drawing roughly $220,000 from reserves and leaves several line items open pending further information. "As far as the playground stuff, how much we're going to do there...that could vary by 20 to 30 to 40,000 very easily," the Director said, noting figures are preliminary.

The Director added that vehicle purchases are anticipated next fiscal year and that transportation costs remain a line item: "vehicles are still going to stay close to about $200,000." The board discussed balancing the preliminary budget and leaving certain projects (bathroom remodel tied to an addition) until later approvals; the Director also flagged approximately $40,000–$50,000 in change orders to date on construction work.
