Board hears how EP&O levy and general fund will support staffing and programs
Summary
Officials told the board that about 83% of projected general fund spending goes to salaries and benefits and that the EP&O levy (projected $14.648M) will fund unfunded classified and certificated positions, athletics, safety and professional development.
During the budget presentation Kyle Fletcher said a large share of district spending supports staffing: "About 83% of this goes towards staffing, salary, and benefits," he told the board when asked how much of the budget goes to personnel. Fletcher said that while the state provides base funding for certificated staff, many classified positions and additional certificated duties rely on local EP&O levy support.
Fletcher outlined how levy dollars are planned to be spent, listing unfunded salaries, transportation and food service support, athletics and activities, professional development and safety and security measures among priorities. The superintendent and board members said they see the budget as a reflection of district values and emphasized monitoring outcomes tied to these investments.
