Staffing dominates spending; district projects EP&O levy at $14.65M
Summary
Budget presenter said about 83% of general fund spending supports staff salaries and benefits; the district projects EP&O levy revenue of $14,648,000 and emphasized balancing investments with long-term operations and the new Evergreen Elementary opening.
The district's budget presenter told the board that staffing is the largest component of the general fund: "About 83% of this goes towards staffing, salary, and benefits," he said, explaining that most districts are in a similar range and that the district has worked to bear down on that share over time. The board discussed how levy dollars and staffing choices align with instructional priorities.
S6 also outlined the EP&O levy projection of $14,648,000 and detailed how those levy dollars are planned to cover unfunded positions, transportation, athletics, professional development and student supports; S6 warned opening a new school carries additional operational costs (staffing, utilities, insurance) that must be accounted for in longer-term planning.
