District to present two supplemental budgets: staff stipends and school-security grant
Summary
Staff told the board it will bring two supplemental budgets: stipend payments for 37 qualifying staff (about $445 each, with related payroll costs borne by the general fund) and a $118,005.74 three-year security grant for visitor management, intercoms, and IP speakers with spending through Sept. 2027.
Finance staff said the district will present two supplemental budgets to the board at an upcoming meeting. The first covers a stipend program affecting 37 qualifying staff members, with $445 estimated per staffer; staff noted that associated payroll costs (employer-side payroll tax) are not covered by the stipend grant and will come from the general fund. The staff member described this grant as an "independent mandate" that will require an additional pay line in district payroll.
The second supplemental budget is for a state or federal security grant totaling $118,005.74 intended to improve school security through visitor management systems, video intercoms, IP speakers and related technology. Staff said the grant is a three-year award and noted the district has until Sept. 2027 to spend the money; staff plan to present the full amount in supplemental budget form and include it in next year’s budget planning.
