Summary

District staff presented an increase in general fund appropriations to expand instructional spending and student support services, citing property-tax and state funding increases; the board approved the supplemental adjustments.

Denise, a district staff member, told the board the supplemental budget would increase the general fund to provide more resources for instruction and support services, including counseling and transportation. She said the revenue increases stem from higher property-tax receipts, an increase in state basic school support and the beginning fund balance.

The presentation listed the intended expenditure shifts: increases to instruction (teaching and learning) and support (counseling, nursing, utilities and transportation). The transcript contains a readback of numeric figures that are transcribed inconsistently; staff packets and the official published notice should be consulted for exact dollar amounts. After discussion, the board voted to adopt the supplemental package.
